Feature #5608

Existing DHCP lease cannot be overwritten
Description
We do have some override dialog for some orchestrations, but this is not working with DHCP. If there is an existing DHCP reservation on the host, I don't see dialog when creating a host with the same MAC. I don't know if this is a regression, but Staypuft guys hit this issue, therefore I am creating this ticket for discussion.

I've just hit that today with 1.4.3: I was deleting VMs and re-configuring them for a demo, and somehow the original DHCP reservation was not deleted correctly and trying to re-create the VMs failed with "Failed to add DHCP reservation for AAAA (IP / MAC): Entry already exists.

Having a similar issue I think.
We use the foreman discovery plugin. When a new bare metal system boots for the first time it gets an IP from dhcp from a "discovery" pool, so the MAC ends up in the dhcp leases file.
When we want to provision the system with a fixed dhcp IP it fails because of a dhcp reservation conflict.
When the discovery dhcp entry gets removed from the leases file the provisioning succeeds.

- Is duplicate of Bug #5637: DHCP conflicts triggered for non-conflicting leases added

Yves - sounds like the same bug that Lukas was talking about. We've fixed it in #5637 and related bugs (on the proxy side) for 1.5.1.
