Ok, No idea why it would be happening.
If it were the Vista Machines ( other than an aberration ) we'd be hearing lot's of complaints about it already.
Anyway.
Try reducing the lease time.
Then clearing up the DNS both Forward and Reverse
Flush and register again.
if that doesn't work maybe some of the folks over at windows.server.dns can help

I have flushed and registered the clients and the server still has the
addresses leased at full capacity. There are no additional connections for
the vista business machines. Is the DHCP database possibly corrupt? Why would
the address leases only show 7 machines and the statistics show 202 of 202
available addresses taken. I am working diligently but frankly I am 99% sure
that the vista clients caused the DHCP problems. There were sweeping changes
to DHCP and the addition of NAP to vista that were to be incorporated into
Longhorn however I think they didn't fully test compatablity with 2000 and
2003 servers. I just don't know how to fix this problem and it really makes
me frustrated with Microsoft. Sorry for venting. Any further ideas.

Have you run:
Ipconfig /flushDNS
Ipconfig /registerDNS
Have the Vista machines got any additional connections set up ?
