When it does a request, without giving the vendor option id, it fails to match the class statement, can't have an address from the first pool, so gets shunted off to the second pool - even though it requests the same address, it will be denied. That is exactly what the OP does *not* want to happen until the kickstart install is finished.

It's been my experience DHCP will only DHCPOFFERto a DHCPDISCOVER from a pool that has allows if the class matches.

However, the DHCP will DHCPACK a DHCPREQUEST for any pool that does not explicitly deny.

What I don't know is if the subsequent requests are DHCPDISCOVERs or DHCPREQUESTs.

BTW Simon, I'm enjoying the discussion.  I'm always willing to learn.
