Hi everyone,
A few weeks ago, I migrated ISC DHCP to dnsmasq-dhcp.
I have now successfully upgraded to 25.7.1.
However, my DHCP leases are exhibiting strange behavior.
I am provisioning new VMs in a network with sufficient free leases and am receiving the following log messages.
Do you have any idea why this is happening? The configuration looks fine to me.
