Moderately related followup on this: In connection with lab testing of
"ignore-client-uids" on FreeBSD 10.3, I used the standard FreeBSD client
(based on the OpenBSD client) to manually generate DHCP requests with
many different client UIDs.
Without the "ignore-client-uids" option on the server, I get a different
IP address from the DHCP server for each client UID (as expected), *and*
each of these IP addresses are assigned as an alias on the interface.
The end result is an interface with as many IP addresses as I have sent
DHCP queries with different client UIDs.
