Or turn off update optimization, wait for a full lease duration, and turn it back on (or remove the setting). Restart dhcpd each time the settings are changed, of course.

Is it connected to a trunk, with a VLAN interface for each VLAN; or is it connected to one VLAN with a DHCP Relay Agent somewhere (possibly in the switch) to get DHCP packets from/to the other VLANs ? It is possible to misconfigure stuff so that a machine sees traffic it shouldn't and/or appears to be on the wrong VLAN.

Actually, the OP's original post showed one network reaching dhcpd via a relay, while the other was directly connected.
