Description R R 2022-09-17 12:19:39 UTC 
When I use keepalived and want DHCP to work, in theory I could in /var/ipfire/dhcp/dhcpd.conf use

include "/var/ipfire/dhcp/dhcpd.conf.local";

And then in dhcpd.conf.local have something like

subnet 192.168.222.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 #GREEN
{
        option routers 192.168.222.254;
} #GREEN

But if I do that, DHCP stops working.

If you have any syntax errors in your custom configuration file, you will find any messages about that in /var/log/messages.
