One I can answer ! You have broadcast forwarding turned on in the router(s). The LMB is broadcasting it's existence, and that broadcast is getting forwarded to other subnet(s). However, when the election is held it gets sorted out (until the next broadcast). If you are using Cisco routers, then you want to include some (or all) of these lines in your config : interface Ethernet0 ip address xxxx ip helper-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ! turns on broadcast forwarding (in our case for bootp/dhcp support) no ip forward-protocol udp tftp no ip forward-protocol udp nameserver no ip forward-protocol udp domain no ip forward-protocol udp time no ip forward-protocol udp netbios-ns no ip forward-protocol udp netbios-dgm no ip forward-protocol udp tacacs ! turn off those we DON'T want.
