I don't see any issue in the current behavior. RFC 2131 allows to have several DHCP servers in the network and all of them can participate IP offering. (see §3.1 "Client-server interaction - allocating a network address"). It would be a valid case even if one network is scheduled to many dhcp agents.

The only drawback of dhcp agent migration is consumption of IP addresses and ports. By design the port is linked to agent host. The port is reused if agent migrates to the same host for another time. So there cannot be more than {{controller}} number of IPs occupied by dhcp agent.

Moving the issue into 'Won't Fix' since the behavior is as-designed.
