        Just so I'm clear on the

one-lease-per-client true;

        line, that won't interfere with the thousands of transactions going on during a busy move-in week, right? That is to say, there won't be a conflict when a client has a 10.x.x.x and request a valid, routable address?
        Thanks for any info...

/Dax

Rebecca,

You might want to add this line:

one-lease-per-client true;

To the beginning of your dhcpd file. If you don't have it, I would also
suggest:

ignore bootp;
authoritative; # It's always right

One-lease-per-client is a little misleading. What it does is when a client
requests an IP, and the server notices that it already has an IP address, it
releases the other IP address, making it free for someone else to grab it.

I suggest ignoring bootp, cause those addresses never expire, and unless you
have a specific need for it, you won't really need to support it. And of
course, your machine should be authoritative for everything.

I wish I could help with the problem, but this should help with the
symptoms. (Kind of like aspirin)

Mike

No, it's 00:40:CA:2E:00:D9. Have you run into this before?

I'm stumped!
