Yes, while DHCP uses the clients MAC address for assigning a lease...
the DHCP server does not care what the MAC address is. It just uses it
for book keeping and arp. As long as the MAC addresses are unique
(which they are via the 18:18: + derived numbers), everything is happy.
Now if my DHCP server had classes defined based on MAC addresses, that
would then be important... but no... I don't have special needs for
that. Only time I've ever needed that was to define differing X-Term
hardware so Bootp knew what to do. :)
Thanks though.
