The function that attempts to find and later allocate an address for
clients does not know at the end of its work the reason why it could
not find or allocate an address.

So although the server in this situation might log either "no free
leases" or "peer holds all free leases" depending on the version and
situation, in actuality what you are probably looking at is that your
permit/deny lists on the pools in configuration does not allow any
allocation to be made to this client.
