This patch is specific and work only with dnsmask static lease. If we try to allocate an existing leased ip to a new mac, we need to purge first the lease.
This patch is doing it directly in dhcp reply phase. I have made a deb with the patch for testing: https://mutulin1.odiso.net:/dnsmasq-base_2.89-1_amd64.deb ex: guest ask for ip 192.168.2.10 with mac 12:45:6f:39:c2:a6 Nov 15 22:45:05 formationkvm3 dnsmasq-dhcp[846333]: DHCPDISCOVER(vnetpve) 192.168.2.10 12:45:6f:39:c2:a6 Nov 15 22:45:05 formationkvm3 dnsmasq-dhcp[846333]: DHCPOFFER(vnetpve) 192.168.2.10 12:45:6f:39:c2:a6 Nov 15 22:45:05 formationkvm3 dnsmasq-dhcp[846333]: DHCPREQUEST(vnetpve) 192.168.2.10 12:45:6f:39:c2:a6 Nov 15 22:45:05 formationkvm3 dnsmasq-dhcp[846333]: DHCPACK(vnetpve) 192.168.2.10 12:45:6f:39:c2:a6 testovn1 remove remove nic from guest create a new nic in another guest, 192.168.2.10 is allocated to new mac 12:45:a3:ed:c8:36 we write ether file and reload dnsmasq Nov 15 22:45:53 formationkvm3 systemd[1]: Reloading dnsmasq@simpve.service - dnsmasq (simpve) - A lightweight DHCP and caching DNS server...
