In this specific scenario, the target DHCPD server is not the same

client backs off for 10 second and start again with DISCOVER. From
this point everything goes as it should be.
I would also point out that it's recommended these days that DHCP
servers are authorative which means they should NAK any invalid address.
Only non authorative DHCP servers would remain silent.
