Anaconda uses too many addresses

The environment here is Fedora 23. One machine acts as DHCP server for the others (normal, I know). A small portion of each subnet is reserved for dynamic assignment, devices without reserved addresses. Lately, when I run PXE on a new machine, I find that three or more of those addresses are reserved for Anaconda! Even though all the requests originate from the same MAC address, the DHCP server gives each request a unique response. As the address leases take time to expire, I quickly run out of available addresses. Much more quickly than I should. I don't recall this happening when doing the same operations on a Fedora 20 base, both DHCP server and PXE installations. I realize this may be a DHCP issue. But to cover all bases, I wonder if there is anything Anaconda is doing that could exacerbate this problem. -- Dave Close
