Yes, that's definitely a no-go. I'm pretty sure nobody would stand for
that. If that's how dnsmasq operates, we can't switch to using dnsmasq
until that's remedied.
One-line replacement fix should "fix" the problem: change LOG_INFO to
LOG_DEBUG and I am confident that it should be in 2.64.
You mentioned that users were griping about other messages. I do
believe that there are too many LOG_INFO messages and perhaps some of
them need to have more to differentiate them and, even more likely, do
issue many of those messages unless log-dhcp is specified. [otherwise,
finding the real information in vast quantities of data becomes very
challenging]
But, it was also pointed out that too many messages means that you have
not "tuned" (filtered) you syslog sufficiently. That is a very real
point and could have been used for the RTR-ADVERT messages too except
they really belongs in LOG_DEBUG.
