Re: DHCP basic question - turning on scope of same range?

It think it should be fine. The Clients always request the same number they
currently have and it is included in the request, so the Server should know
what they currently use and either accept it or deny it and grant a new one.
There might be a few extra seconds involved the first time around but it
should work. I've juggled DHCP Servers around here a few times and I only
got a few duplicate address errors on rare occasions and it usually cleared
itself up fairly quick.
