moving subnet to another server

[Dana Huggard]

Thanks Patrick.   I don't know how to handle that. Not sure how smart dhcp
is to detect such a condition or how long it would take for things to sort
itself out.
The default-lease-time in the subnet declaration is 600.   Is there a
preferred way to handle this?
