[asterisk-users] Polycom SIP and DHCP problem

Apologies - I know this isn't either Polycom or ISC support, but if 
anyone would have an answer to my problem, I'm certain they would be on 
this list.

I'm experiencing odd behavior with Polycom handsets obtaining DHCP 
addresses.  It always worked fine for me up until a few months ago.  
Unfortunately, I can't narrow down when it stopped working, or why.  All 
my Polycoms now appear to ignore my DHCP server entirely, according to 
the following pattern:

Polycom -> DHCPDISCOVER
Server -> DHCPOFFER on the correct network
Polycom -> DHCPREQUEST on the wrong network
Server -> DHCPNAK
Polycom -> Rinse, repeat ad infinitum


Here's some dumps of the DHCP packets:

Had the same issue a year or so ago - it related to a code version on  
the Polycoms. We wiped the flash and let them reload software I

This was on one of our IP430 installs, never had it happen with 6xx  
series - yet.
