IP swapping for network restart or reboot for ubuntu client

[perl-list]

Is this by chance in conjunction with Cisco's DHCP Proxy configuration?  What we saw there was that the Cisco device inserted a RELEASE whenever a DISCOVER happened.  The RELEASE was so close (< 5ms) on top of the subsequent DISCOVER that the DHCP server, in failover, did not have time to propagate the address being freed up and so a second address would be configured.  We had to get Cisco to insert a delay between the RELEASE and the DISCOVER of some length (though I don't remember the details).
