2006-04-26 21:19:39 Matt Zimmerman dhcp3: statusexplanation This happens because the PXE ROM obtains a lease but doesn't release it when it's finished. If enough client boots take place, these leases will consume the pool on the server. I don't think there is much that Ubuntu can do about this problem; I'd consider it a bug in the firmware. It's possible that the DHCP server could distinguish between PXE requests and other requests, and use a much shorter lease time for those.
