I am trying to set up a configuration that allows names to follow regstered users even when traveling into pools.

If they have a static address on a given subnet, then I want to regester it in DNS for them.

So on subnet 129.120.223.0 I want to get 129.120.223.230 and register it in Dynamic DNS.

On subnet 129.120.17.0 I want to get a POOL address and register it in Dynamic DNS.

I want to be able to travel while leases are active and still get a new
lease.

I am having some luck taking the fixed address out, but when I travel to
a new network with the old lease valid, the DHCP server apprears to be
ignoring the request for a new address.

I am looking into the allow-duplicates to see if that will fix this
problem.
