[Cialug] Bogus DHCP on Debian

[L. V. Lammert]

Trying to set a PBX application in Raspbian, .. given a network
configuration with external (eth0), internal (eth1), and a 3rd for
the phones themselves:

auto lo
        iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
        iface eth0 inet static
        address 206.197.251.243
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 206.197.251.254

auto eth1
        iface eth1 inet static
        address 10.0.0.243
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 10.0.0.254

auto eth2
        iface eth2 inet static
        address 10.0.1.254
        netmask 10.0.1.0

Any idea why the system persists in grabbing a DHCP address for eth1?

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default
