Hi ,
I am Venkat working in Sun Microsystems.
I have a doubt regarding the DHCPREQUEST message broadcast.

Doubt:
Why is a DHCPREQUEST for Address Reuse or an lease time extension broadcast 
to all other servers ? could it not be sent to that dhcp server alone that 
provided the client with the ip adrress ?

Regards,
Venkat
