<div><font face="tahoma"> Host declarations can match client messages based on the DHCP Client<br>
Identifier option or based on the client's network hardware type and<br>
MAC address. If the MAC address is used, the host declaration will<br>
match any client with that MAC address - even clients with different<br>
client identifiers. This doesn't normally happen, but is possible<br>
when one computer has more than one operating system installed on it -<br>
for example, Microsoft Windows and NetBSD or Linux.</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma"> The duplicates flag tells the DHCP server that if a request is received<br>
from a client that matches the MAC address of a host declaration, any<br>
other leases matching that MAC address should be discarded by the<br>
server, even if the UID is not the same. This is a violation of the<br>
DHCP protocol, but can prevent clients whose client identifiers change<br>
regularly from holding many leases at the same time. By default,<br>
duplicates are allowed.<br>
