If a client is known to be on the wrong physical network, that's a good
reason to NAK a lease.

If the client is not allowed the lease it is asked for (administrative
prohibition), that is also a good reason to NAK a lease.

But if we merely don't know what lease the client is asking about, that's
a pretty bad reason to NAK a lease (as Ted has pointed out).
