Hey all,

I've come across a rather odd problem today.

I looked up a student's registration in netreg. Then I clicked the L
button and looked at her leases, and blinked when I saw that she had not 1,
but 3 valid and current IP leases for her machine!

I checked the machine's logs, and sure enough, that MAC address had
continued discovering after receiving the first lease, and received more
valid leases. This continued until it actually bottomed out on that network.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

I'm running Red Hat 7.2 with the basic installation of NetReg

Any advice would be apreciated!
