This is only true if your network is on a seperate vlan or physical
network. Multiple subnets can coexist on a single vlan, in which case
you would surely cause issues on the LAN.
You could also configure a dhcp server to respond only to known
macadresses.

For the future, we definitely need to ensure that the various aspects of
this are addressed in the documentation, as both principle and example.
The documentation is moving to a wiki, much of whose content originated
from the existing big man page. The main page regarding DHCP is:
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/DHCP%20management
I don't see any mention there of the considerations raised in this thread.
Dan, Pete, and Ger (as technical contributors to the thread): If you
don't wish to update the wiki yourselves, I'm happy to try to
consolidate any suggestions you may make or send to me.
