Listers,
    I recently started getting this error in my log. It doesnt seem to be
be causing and major malfunctions yet, but I dont like random errors.
This only seems to pop up with after a static address is assigned, not
sure if thats related.

FYI I have googled the heck out of this, with only issues found no 
solutions, that Russian site looked promising, but I dont understand 
cyrillic.

Also note its seems to be giving out 2 IP'S to the same client...Can I
assume the error is caused by one of the packets being rejected?
and the DNS does double the mappings too. (but, I think if the first 
issue is corrected, this one with as well)
