Hi,
I have a small doubt about the lease given by the DHCP server. Suppose initially 
a client gets a lease of 10 hours ( lease requested by the client ) from a 
DHCP server. Now if the client again sends a DHCPDISCOVER (to the same server) 
before the lease expires ( say after 2 hours ), what lease will be offered by 
the server? Will it be the remaining lease (in this case, 8 hours) for the 
same address ot it will again be 10 hours from the current time? 
   Your responses will be highly appreciated.

Best Regards
RAJESH SALUJA
