Does this split server assignment happen repeatedly?
It happened once.
Yes, three computers out of five lab workstations.
How often? The same computer repeatedly?
Once. I haven't tried repeatedly.
Maybe post "ipconfig /all" logs here for third party intrepretation.
I'll drop them in at the end of this message.
And once again, why not tell us why you need 2 subnets on the same physical
segment, that you allow to exist simultaneously, yet have random membership.
I do not need two subnets on one segment, nor two DHCP servers. It was
a mistake in the lab. What struck me as incredibly curious was that the
workstations split the addressing. That is, I would have expected some
workstations to get an IP from first DHCP server and maybe others to
get an IP from the second. Instead, three of the computers obtained the
IP from the first DHCP and the DNS from another.
Thought maybe this would be a simple question to those more familiar
with XP (I normally work on 2003). I'll have to set this back up and
try to duplicate the symptom.

Ipconfig /all, from my notes. The first DHCP server is 192.168.10.9. It
also provides DNS and WINS. The second rouge DHCP server is 192.168.1.1
and it provides DNS. Note that the lease is from the first and the DNS
is from the second.
