Hello,

I am testing the Discovery plugin. I have a DHCP server setup to assign a 
limited range of addresses (dedicated to pxe booting hosts). The remaining 
addresses are out of the DHCP scope to be permanently assigned to the 
hosts. Foreman is configured to autosuggest IPs outside of the DHCP range.
I'm having this problem: 

   1. boot new host, it gets discovered
   2. open the "provision" > "interfaces" tab. The IP pre-assigned is the 
   one that has been provided by DHCP during PXE boot
   3. Manually change the address to an address of choice from outside the 
   DHCP range. This will be the real host IP
   4. Foreman throws a "DHCP records <mac>/<IP> already exists" warning and 
   asks me if I want to overwrite it

Is this the expected behavior? The lease is indeed there because of the PXE 
boot, so the conflict warning makes sense.
I would like foreman to let me choose whatever IP I want for the host, 
instead.
The conflict error appears even when configuring the IPAM dropdown in the 
subnet config to "none".

I read a few threads dealing with the same situation but it's still not 
clear to me what would be the suggested DHCP deployment scenario.

Thank you!
