multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the

'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
ignoring this aspect of their request. [ISC-Bugs #16185]

conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.

If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
that belong to the peer in need.
- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.

request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
[ISC-Bugs #1196]
- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
priority over the client's parameter request list. [ISC-Bugs #1196]
