Maybe I've not provided enough information. The dhcp server is
assigning a dynamic ip to the eth1 interface. The dns server needs to
know eth1's IP alright but the conf files expect a static ip, as you stated.
I think the solution is to make eth1 a static ip, and lend out a dynamic
ip to the router downstream, and then the dns server will be happy.
Or as another person suggests, perhaps run dnsmasq, but Ubuntu has a
semi-automatic network manager that likes to do things itself, as I am
finding out.
