I'm running gentoo as a home router, and there is one annoying quirk that I'd like to get straightened out:
Wherever I manually restart my wan connection, dnsmasq and dhcpd also restart, leaving lan connections unresponsive.
Code:

$ sudo rc-config restart net.enp3s0
Restarting init script
 * Unmounting network filesystems ...                                                   [ ok ]
 * Stopping dnsmasq ...                                                                 [ ok ]
 * Stopping dhcpd ...                                                                   [ ok ]
 * Bringing down interface enp3s0
 *   Stopping dhcpcd on enp3s0 ...
sending signal TERM to pid 9919
waiting for pid 9919 to exit                                                            [ ok ]

 * Starting dhcpd ...                                                                   [ ok ]

Even more problematic is that if wan interface is not plugged anywhere - service for iface does not start back up after "waiting for carrier", leaving both dnsmasq and dhcpd (ans also netmount) down, making the box unreachable for new connections until reboot.

Is this problem with service dependencies? Removing need net from init.d scripts did not seem to help.
Code:

$ rc-status
Runlevel: default
 lm_sensors                                                                      [  started  ]
 sysklogd                                                                        [  started  ]

 sshd                                                                            [  started  ]
 dhcpd                                                                           [  started  ]
 cronie                                                                          [  started  ]
 netmount                                                                        [  started  ]
 local                                                                           [  started  ]
Dynamic Runlevel: hotplugged
Dynamic Runlevel: needed/wanted
 modules-load                                                                    [  started  ]
Dynamic Runlevel: manual

enp3s0 is wan connection, br0 - is bridge over few NICs for lan.
Code:

config_enp3s0="dhcp"

# bridge_br0="enp2s0 enp2s1 enp4s0 enp5s0"
bridge_br0="enp2s0 enp2s1 enp4s0"
config_br0="192.168.100.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
routes_br0="192.168.0.0/16 via 192.168.100.254"

Are you sure you want (or need) to run both dnsmasq and dhcpd together?

Well, I'm trying to get rid of dnsmasq. For now it only serves as nameserver, but I'm going to replace it with bind.
The problem was present even when dnsmasq was doing both name resolution and serving DHCP, without dhcpd.

Is there anything interesting in the output of /etc/init.d/dhcpd ineed or /etc/init.d/dhcpd iuse?

Yep, both dhcpd and dnsmasq need both interfaces (br0 and enp3s0):
Code:

$ /etc/init.d/dhcpd ineed
sysfs fsck localmount net.br0 net.enp3s0
$ /etc/init.d/dhcpd iuse
sysklogd dnsmasq
$ /etc/init.d/dnsmasq ineed
fsck localmount sysfs net.br0 net.enp3s0
$ /etc/init.d/dnsmasq iuse
sysklogd

I don't quite get it - net.lo, net.br0 and net.enp3s0 all should provide net service that dhcpd needs, correct?
However, it displays that it only needs two - br0 and enp3s0. But also he needs them at the same time.
Code:

$ ls -lah /etc/init.d/net.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  18 Apr 21 12:47 /etc/init.d/net.br0 -> /etc/init.d/net.lo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  18 May  8 10:17 /etc/init.d/net.enp3s0 -> /etc/init.d/net.lo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19K Apr 13 15:32 /etc/init.d/net.lo

And even more confusing, netifrc is stopping dhcpd and then * Stopping dhcpcd on enp3s0 ...

Are you using dhcpd and dhcpcd both or is it a feature of netifrc?

Kresp,

Its related to the way the network service is defined in /etc/rc.conf

Do you need all interfaces to be up to consider the network service up or just one of them?
If you need them all, then things that depend on the network service will stop or restart when any interface goes down/restarts.

See the comments in /etc/rc.conf.

Restart the interface using --nodeps flag

Code:
/etc/init.d/net.enp3s0 restart --nodeps

That sounds like a very helpful argument to know.

Thanks, exactly what I need.
