Network doesn't always come up when computer reboots

[bsclifton]

This has happened a few times

With this setup, I've had to shut off power for various reasons (working on electrical, unplugging wires, etc). When router comes back online, computers on the network do not have connectivity

When I KVM the router, it usually has an IP on the primary interface. However, the second interface (intranet) sometimes doesn't come up (fixed with /etc/init.d/networking restart). Sometimes that is working as expected but the DHCP server is not working (fixed with /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server restart)

It would be great to solve this in a robust way. A quick and dirty way would be to create a cron job to restart the services hourly. A better way would be to use a bash script to check service status and then (if needed) restart services (kicked off via cron). There are probably even better ways too
