Typically a DHCP server will check the arp table to see if a supposedly unassigned address is already used by someone (statically), but I doubt if all DHCP servers do this.
Data in an arp cache doesn't last very long. Some servers will ping an address before assigning it.
Yes, any server that checks it will no doubt ping first.
Some clients will also do that before using a DHCP assigned address.
Hmm, yes, I think I've seen that mentioned too. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.7°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
