This just started today and our syslog is full of these
messages. It is always the same client and he appears to
register his DHCP lease, but why am I getting this complaint?
stw is the peer name.

	Thank you.

	I think the client is broken because he has been
hammering us every few seconds to register and then getting
right back in the registration process a couple of seconds
later.
