The dhcp server could have a bug in it, or the DHCP request might not
be fully correct. Take a look at the RFC which defines these messages.

Using a seperate test network is recommended. Having two DHCP servers
on the same network giving out different IP subnets is going to cause
trouble with your gateway unless it has been correctly configured for
this.
