	This isn't necessarily a problem.

	As I read the OP's question, he may be more interested in 
	knowing which of possibly many DHCP servers has handled the
	current lease, than in controlling which one can receive the
	DISCOVER or REQUEST.

	Server log files can be useful.  It's not clear that the OP
	has access to these.
