I kinda thought so.

It's not just DHCPINFORM, it's all broadcast dhcp packets. It does not send
packets back to the client, but it logs them. It's just spamming the logs
with things that are irrellevent to the setup. This DHCP server is for
the networks I've setup for various things. The main network (which this is
directly connected and is not authoritive for) is ran by another DHCP
server.
I had considered just blocking broadcast DHCP. I'd have to make some other
changes for it though.
