It gives different leases because the client has identified itself
differently.  With a client ID in the one case, without one in
the other.

This is also why DDNS is failing - the TXT record we use as a
DHCID RR mockup will be different for these two clients.

You can disable ddns updates for PXE specifically, and it might
also be a good idea to set lower lease times for PXE.


In future, dhcp-users would be a bit more topical for this.
