Hi All,

I have installed Grizzly with quantum and OVS-plugin. I'm using dnsmasq 
and never had any problems with it until now. Dnsmasq is working fine in 
most of the cases. But lately there were a few reports that dnsmasq is 
not working entirely reliable. Sometimes dnsmasq claims that no address 
is available for the specific mac-address, while other clients are still 
receiving their addresses fine.

Details:

Used dnsmasq version is 2.59. The issue was recognized on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Logs:

What could be the problem? Have you seen similar behavior? If yes, how 
did you fix this?
