Is the server a 'Potato' one ? I have observed a similar issue at one
location, with the dhcp-client logging these messages inside
/var/log/syslog. System is a 'Potato' machine with Adrian Bunk-ed
packages and 2.4.x kernel.

I have observed another issue, this DHCP DISCOVERY is not that
persistent when there is activity on the server, by way of users' in the
internal LAN accessing the Web.
