I have a question regarding the use of DHCP_DECLINE message. If the client is choosing a valid DHCP_OFFER using contents of the returned options, and the DHCP SERVER changes the contents of the options while sending the DHCP_ACK message, is it acceptable for client to use DHCP_DECLINE? (The RFC 2131 states that DHCP_DECLINE is issued when the IP address in use.)

In other words when a DHCP_DECLINE is received by the DHCP SERVER does this mean that the client detected that the IP address is already used by another entity?
