DHCP Problems



I am experiencing a strange dhcp issue on my network. Currently I connect all facilities via vpn tunnels from cisco routers(mostly 831 routers) to the corp office pix515. DHCP works for the most part and machines get the correct address intended for the facility. But if one of these machines are moved to another facility the dhcp servers are giving out the old facilities address not an address from the facility it is not at. All the routers have the helper addresses set in them and I have two dhcp servers running Windows 2003 SP1 and fully patched, with all scopes setup on both with the address ranges split in half.

so far to try and fix the issue I have deleted the old address from the scope and restarting the dhcp services but that has not solved the issue. So far the fix has been to deactivate the scope on the server that keeps giving the address which forces the other server to provide the address and it assigns the correct one for the facility and the machine now works on the network. this issue happens with both servers. The machines at the facilites are a mix from WinXP Desktop/Laptops also HP and Wyse thin client terminals.


Any and all assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all,
Smitto
