    dhcp server problem

    we have dhcp server configured on rhel3es serving approx 100 windows clients

    following is the configuration file,

    HTML Code:
    ddns-update-style interim;
    ignore client-updates;
    authoritative;
    option domain-name "india.airtel.itm";
    option domain-name-servers 10.56.40.15,10.56.40.16;
    subnet 10.57.12.0 netmask 255.255.254.0 {
            range 10.57.12.5 10.57.13.119;
            range 10.57.13.121 10.57.13.253;
            option routers 10.57.12.1;
            option subnet-mask 255.255.254.0;
            option time-offset -18000;
            default-lease-time 259200;
            max-lease-time 259200;
    
    host Ambrish_Sales_06{
            hardware ethernet 00:0d:60:6b:ba:5c;
            fixed-address 10.57.12.223;
            }
    host b0016824{
            hardware ethernet 00:24:e8:f0:f2:16;
            fixed-address 10.57.13.235;
            }
    host b0009336{
            hardware ethernet 00:16:41:16:cb:07;
            fixed-address 10.57.12.178;
            }
    host B0021991{
            hardware ethernet 00:1e:37:8e:0c:7d;
            fixed-address 10.57.13.151;
            }
    }

    we have done mac id binding for most of the ips,
    dhcp server many times fails to assing bindind ip to the client,

    /var/log/messages gives the following errors,

    HTML Code:

    The addresses you want to use as fixed addresses should
    be outside the range stated for dynamic address allocation.

    Code:
     range 10.57.12.5 10.57.13.119;
            range 10.57.13.121 10.57.13.253;
    that is, outside these ranges
