Subject: [PATCH] IPsrcaddr: Add warning about DHCP
If DHCP is enabled for the interface that serves OCF_RESKEY_ipaddress,
then NetworkManager (and possibly dhclient in systems without NM;
unsure) may later re-add a route that the IPsrcaddr resource replaced.
This may cause the resource to fail or cause other unexpected behavior.
So far this has been observed with a default route, albeit with an edge
case of a configuration (OCF_RESKEY_ipaddress on a different subnet)
that may not be totally valid. There are likely to be other situations
as well where DHCP can cause conflicts with IPsrcaddr's manual updates
via iproute. The safest option is to use only static configuration for
the involved interface.
