Content of my client*.leases files follows:
cdjsys at mateo:/var/lib/dhcp3
cat dhclient.eth2.leases <- do not know; improper config? (expired)

   rebind 6 2010/2/27 19:30:06;
   expire 6 2010/2/27 22:30:06;
} <---------------------------both from my provider
cdjsys at mateo:/var/lib/dhcp3$ cat dhclient.leases
cdjsys at mateo:/var/lib/dhcp3$

The only one that should have a leases on the client side is eth0 (connects to 
my ISP). The leases file on the server side is empty....

Where should I be looking??

Thanks,
Jay
