I would try a different syntax. Although "Allow dynamic bootp 
clients" seems to be valid according to the man page, I wonder if the 
server is treating this as an "allow" clause and hence denying 
anything that doesn't match - hence no free leases.
Note that "no free leases" doesn't mean there are no leases, it means 
there are none which are available and allowed for this client.

Try this syntax and see if it makes any difference (or try removing 
the allow clause temporarily) :

   range dynamic-bootp 10.182.168.1 10.182.169.254;
