My #FreeBSD jail needed a second interface in the storage #VLAN.
I like to use #DHCP for central configuration, but this extra interface should not set the hostname, routing, etc.

Ended up adding a kind of dummy entry to the dhclient.conf which only gets the IP address AFAIS.

interface "epair13b" {
send host-name "myhost-vlan1";
request subnet-mask;
}

Tips for a better way to do this?

I've a question about #dhcp... so if I have a server/data center setup, and a virtual machine has both a management and a public/service interface. Are there any DHCP options I could use (on the management, where DHCP is spoken) to configure IP on the public/service interface? I don't see any advantage of running a DHCP server on the public/service network... anybody has ideas/experience with that (I just went through the list of DHCP options,and of course I can use some reserved option)...
