No. If it gets a _valid_ renew request it will give the same address. If
it gets a discover request, the server will still check for an existing
lease, and still issue the same address. If there is no valid lease, it
will then randomly assign a new address from the pool. (DHCP3 sarge)
Greatly simplified description. For more detailed info see man
dhcpd.conf.
Even my ISP (Cox Communications) reissues the same ip for months on end.
