Bug Description

In Ubuntu Server 17-04. DNSMASQ version 2.76-5

DHCP Relay option for DNSMASQ appears to be broken. The syslog states the file is allocating an IP address but TCPDUMP shows no DHCP OFFER is ever sent out on the receiving interface.

Configuration is included with the bug report. This problem seems to occur in centOS as well.

Looking at an strace it appears to be calling sendmsg however no outgoing DHCP packet is seen on the wire via TCPDUMP.

Hi! Thanks for reporting this and including your configuration file. Given you are seeing this across distros I think this warrants an upstream report. Would you be willing to file something upstream and provide a link back in this bug report? Thanks!
