And this is with the ISC DHCP server?

I seem to recall it having problems with non "ethernet" interfaces before. I dont
recall exactly what it was, but I remember it had something to do with multiple
interfaces and looking like it had bound to both of them but only really working
on one. (This is all from memory :)

I would suggest digging around at the ISC web site (dhcpd --version will tell you
the right place, off hand I think its something like http://www.isc.org/) and
maybe re-asking this question on current-users@netbsd.org since there are lots of
"people in the know" on DHCP over there - there have been some questions in the
last few days reguarding problems with interfaces not responding. You might want
to take a look at the mailing list archive over at
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/ to see if its a similar solution
manifesting in a different problem.

Cheers,
