I do not think this should happen.
It has been a while (Folsom) since I touched a setup with mixed “LAN” and
OpenStack DHCP but IIRC it works like this:
AFAIK the leases file neutron uses is very specific and will only reply to the
mac-addresses that are in the dnsmasq config.
Looking at the dnsmasq process it is set to static:
From the man page:
The optional <mode> keyword may be static which tells dnsmasq to enable DHCP
for the network specified, but not to dynamically allocate IP addresses, only
hosts which have static addresses given via dhcp-host or from /etc/ethers will
be served.
Usually the problem is the other way around:
The existing DHCP in the “lan” bites with what OpenStack does. (so an OpenStack
instance gets an IP from the lan DHCP)
This can be prevented by blacklisting the MAC address range your instances get
in your lan dhcp (Blacklist MAC starting with fa:16:3e )
