Aw: Re: Re: ISC dhcp assigns ip addresses outside dynamic range

[perl-list]

In my experience, when an IP has been assigned by 'fixed-address' inside a host statement (OMAPI or dhcpd.conf) it does NOT keep a lease for it in dhcpd.leases. It does NOT inform the failover peer. If you attempt to release such address, the DHCP server will log that the lease is not found. 

Thats what is telling me that this was handed out dynamically. Thats why i wondered about restarting after config change. Its like one of them has it included in the range and the other does not hence why it is saying "unknown IP address".
