Can you give me any URLs regarding this particular DHCP server?
Is its source available somewhere?

It seems to be a very stupid behavior to not answer to packets with secs = 0.

_Any_ DHCP client starts the discovery by sending them.

Basically, dropping them ensures that DHCP works _slower_ than it can.

In other words, I am interested to look at DHCP server developer's rationale.
