Maybe I should say "sort of" solved in that it works but I don't understand
why. The problem wasn't dhcpd or the dhcpd.conf file. We took another
look at the old server and the subnet mask the "real" device (eth0) was
correct for a class B network subnetted to class C (255.255.255.0).
However, the aliased IP device (eth0:0) had the subnet mask for the class B
(255.255.0.0). I don't understand why it works this way - can anyone shed
some light?
