According to the process, this kind of thing can happen, but I'm pretty sure
the server is supposed to issue a NAK to get the client to stop asking for
that IP again. After a NAK, the next time the client requests, it's an open
request. This happens to us all the time on our production system when we
move address pools around.

We had a DHCP server crash which led to the lease information of the server
to be different from that on the client. So, for example, the server thought
the IP address should be 172.24.132.14 but the client thought it should be
172.24.132.15. The client is rebooted and issues a REQUEST asking for
172.24.132.15. The server remains silent. Is this legit behaviour? The
client and server are both on the same subnet. The server's range of IP
addresses spans both client addresses. There are no other DHCP servers
around. As the client receives no replies, the client chooses as it MAY to
use the address that it thinks has been assigned for the remainder of the
lease.
