I'm not a DHCP expert. It would be interesting to check the RFCs and ISC dhcpd IP allocation code. I assumed DHCP servers only hash MAC addresses for IP allocation but your case shows that the client identifier also comes into play. Is this use of client identifier defined in the RFCs? Does ISC dhcpd let you disable use of the client identifier in the IP allocation algorithm? Could you change the Linux dhcp client's identifier - which one you change is arbitrary, right? I want to make sure we understand the root cause here before adding workaround code.
