[Dnsmasq-discuss] why does dnsmasq reject lease request?

[Will Parsons]

I have two DNS servers on a single network - one on the router provided by
the ISP and one running dnsmasq on one of my own machines (which I'd like to
be preferred if it's available).

Dnsmasq is configured to give out a static address for each host I have
configured by keeping a list of MAC addresses in /etc/ethers and using that
to associate an Ethernet address with a host.

It sometimes rejects a lease request for reasons I cannot understand.  The
following example is case of a machine called "oenone" trying to obtain a
lease:

First, the relevant parts of dnsmasq.conf are:

domain-needed
bogus-priv
filterwin2k
resolv-file=/usr/local/etc/resolv.conf
local=/local/
addn-hosts=/usr/local/etc/hosts
expand-hosts
domain=varronet
dhcp-range=10.0.0.2,10.0.0.63,12h
read-ethers
dhcp-option=3,10.0.0.1
dhcp-option=6,10.0.0.7
dhcp-authoritative
log-queries
log-dhcp

=============
/etc/ethers contains:
08:00:27:57:c5:96  oenone

=============
/usr/local/etc/hosts contains:
10.0.0.13  oenone  oenone.local

The dhcp log contains:

=============

I can't understand why dnsmasq is rejecting the DHCPREQUEST.
