Hmm ... the complaint of changing IP does not seem to make sense - as I
read the article - the MAC simply remembers server info and instead of a
blind dhcp (which causes delays if you are now on a new network as the
dhcp server will not NAK a network for which is not authoritative), it
ARP's the remembered server first which is very fast - hard to see how
this would cause problems (shy of bugs of course)...
