Not only that. They may give addresses on different nets, with different 
routing data, in a way that two computers on the same table and switch do 
not see each other.

Once I saw such a problem in a class room with two dhcp servers; one of 
them giving bad data. It turned out that, when the students where trying 
vmware setups one of them installed the suse dhcp server in the guest 
linux, without knowing or forgetting it was there. The entire net (all 
classrooms and administrations pcs) were having very weird problems.
