Hi Scott,

I'm not the OP, but I do have this problem.  When I try to do an install 
(wheezy) on a network with two DHCP servers, the installer's dhcp-client 
never seems to get an IP address -- even though the two servers are both 
responding and both giving the same IP address.

Both DHCP servers are dnsmasq.

When I kill off one of the servers temporarily, all goes well.

Is there a solution that isn't so drastic?

Thanks!

Rick
