Different one, but same effect ...

Jan 27 14:36:53 themis dhcpd: Reclaiming abandoned IP address 131.162.159.180.
Jan 27 14:36:54 themis dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 131.162.159.180 to <null> via 
131.162.152.1
Jan 27 17:20:02 themis dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 131.162.159.180 to <null> via 
131.162.152.1

I'm running a slightly older server (working on upgrading the whole
