Acknowledge on "Client moves".  The 'releases IP' is probably<br>
something like "I'm unaware that IP stands for Internet Protocol<br>
and want to try how far I can get by being vague how the release<br>
of the DHCP lease was done"<br>

<br>
The issue of moving clients,<br>
the issue of interfaces go down and come up,<br>
the issue of moving clients AND flipping interfaces?<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
That deals only with keeping interfaces present to dnsmasq.<br>
Nothing about a moving client.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thing is that poor problem descriptions do not contribute<br>
to improvement.<br>
<br>
<br>
Not your mom<br>
