Good old "peer holds all free leases" appearing in a (formerly) very stable setup

Pool statements are ok in the shared subnet, they will work fine as they
are. Thinking back to an ancient 3.0.something.RC there was a bug and the
workaround was to move pools out of the subnet into the shared subnet.
Long since fixed, but 5 years ago it was probably something recent enough
to be relevant.

Are you able to post the class definition statements? Seems to me that
some clients are not matching either of your classes and there is no
default pool so in this case "no free leases" means "I couldn't find a
matching pool".
