This is caused by the superscope. The superscope allows the DHCP server to assign the clients an address from any of the
scopes within the superscope. Since the clients already have a leave in a scope within the superscope, DHCP will assign the
client the previously used address. If this isn't desired behavior, you need to get rid of the superscope.
