DHCP Server Problem

BTW, I send this to both lists (discussion and application) due to renewed
interest in getting the application list to be used though I always felt
that was more for end user applications. I would be happy to see that
clarified.

This is on ubuntu 9.04 being changed to perhaps be a PXE server for
installfests. The problem is that the DHCP Server which should be started
during bootup is failing. After logging in I can start it manually with "sudo
/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start". FYI, that is what is pointed to in rc?.d:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2009-09-30 11:56 S50dhcp3-server ->
../init.d/dhcp3-server*

I suspect the failure is because the ethernet port has not finished being
set up. and the only way I know that might fix that is to change the S50
shown above to a higher number like S55 or S60. I find the following in
syslog

Is that (S55) my solution or is there a better one? Or am I totally missing
something doing this task?
