Intermitent dhcp problem with 2 NICS


I am having an intermitent problem with dhcp. I have machines that have 2 nics in them one for a private network and one for a public one. On boot up or a network restart eth0 initializes fine but sometimes eth1 will fail. Right after it is done booting if I type ifup eth1 it will work. To me it seems like it is a problem with dhclient not finshed initializing eth0 and thus eth1 fails. Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

that doesn't seem like much of a problem... you might try editing the boot scripts and telling it to 'dhclient eth1' so that it won't bother with any others.

it is more of an annoyance than anything. The problem is if i am remotely admining a machine and for whatever reason i need to reboot or restart the network the network might not come back up. Ideally i'd like to add some more time between initing eth0 and eth1.
