That is weird.  Weirder still, your primary and secondary are both
showing that they're receiving POOLREQs (it looks to me like they're
both answering a more or less infinite stream of these).

I'd guess it has something to do with your low balance thresholds and
extremely low pool populations (~1-2 leases).  That isn't in our lab
rig.

And I thought sending POOLREQ more than once per min-balance was
impossible.


Anyway, looks like a bug.  Could you send a report to
dhcp-bugs at isc.org with your primary and secondary log snippets
attached?
