As others have already said, what you see happening is correct behaviour, the
requested behaviour would explicitly break compliance with the RFCs for DHCP
behaviour and would be quite hard to do with the ISC server. It would annoy
many users when they realise why their connections drop at ?random? times, and
eventually push users to move to an ISP that doesn?t wilfully break things.
Where ISPs do genuinely provide a dynamic (and changing) IP address, it?s
typically done when the router connects to the ISP - at least over here in the
UK where PPP over <something> connections are the most common. So as long as
the router maintains the DSL signal and PPP session, the IP remains stable - if
the DSL connection drops, then the user gets a different IP when a new PPP
session is established. That?s handled by the backend serving addresses to the
PPP service - typically not DHCP.
The key thing is that the IP only changes when the PPP session is broken (and
hence, any IP connections in place would also get broken), it doesn?t change
otherwise.
