Clearly the DHCP admin is the _only_ authority to decide which MAC gets what IP address, the DHCP client is only allowed to make suggestions. As such every DHCP server has to follow the source of authority, it should rather not follow what is written in some silly RFC. (I assume the implemented behavior comes from some RFC, not from real life expectations) It might well be that the IP for the DHCP client will change in the future, once the lease expires. Why would it matter if the client gets the expected IP address "now" rather than "later"? Olaf
