I recently moved a dhcp server to another machine, the same ip address
and dhcp configuration, but now the clients cannot obtain a lease
anymore. I checked the logs and here is a sample:

Apr 27 04:07:09 dhcpd: DHCPINFORM from 10.1.10.148 via eth0 Apr 27
04:07:09 dhcpd: DHCPACK to 10.1.10.148 (00:17:31:c0:9e:d5) via eth0

This looks like a quite normal behavior, but AFAIK not part of the
process of obtaining an IP address from the DHCP server.

Please look at the "Windows Client" section of:http://www.brennan.id.au/10-DHCP_Server.html

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

Here is my dhcpd.conf file:

authoritative;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
subnet 10.1.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
range 10.1.10.50 10.1.10.150;
option domain-name "domain.com";
option routers 10.1.10.15;
option subnet-mask 255.0.0.0;
option domain-name-servers 10.1.10.15;
option broadcast-address 10.1.10.255;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;

}

This is exactly the same confirmation that I had on serverA, but after
moving ISC dhcp server to serverB, my Windows clients can no longer
obtain their ip address, so I've configured everybody with static.
