All, I ran into an interesting bug that I thought I'd share here. I set up one of my Raspberry Pi computers as a Pi-hole and also configured it to act as my DHCP server. After the Pi was acting as a my DHCP router I noticed hundreds of log entries in the pihole.log file. The Pi was being flooded with these kind of requests: 10:17:10 dnsmasq-dhcp[20546]: DHCPINFORM(eth0) 192.168.1.41 dc:a6:32:65:89:d9 10:17:10 dnsmasq-dhcp[20546]: DHCPACK(eth0) 192.168.1.41 dc:a6:32:65:89:d9 desertpi Literally dozens of entries per second. As it turns out, I set my other two PIs to static IP addresses using the GUI interface, which put this into dhcpcd.conf file:     interface eth0     inform 192.168.1.41     static routers=192.168.1.1     static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1 When I changed it to this there were no more log entries as listed above (i.e. changed 'inform' to 'static')         interface eth0         static ip_address=192.168.1.41/24         static routers=192.168.1.1         static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1 As it turns out there is a bug in dhcp that causes INFORM messages to flood the router. Since my Netgear router acted as the dhcp server previously, I never saw these entries (the netgear log must not display them). But, I had always wondered why my PI's network LED was always blinking so much.... I could only find two article discussing this: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/116121/huge-syslog-filled-with-dhcpcd-lines https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=265516 My take away: Don't use the GUI to configure things. :) Hope this helps someone... Thanks, Peter
