DHCPRELEASE question

David,

It is indeed a host record with fixed-address statement.  So there is no lease to release from the DHCP server's perspective.  The client thinks there is, however, and seems to have no way to tell.  Is this a wise design choice?  I know it has been that way for a long time, but technically the address was "leased" from the client's perspective.
