I've ran tcpdump on the vm's tap device, here is what I see:
01:42:15.404754 IP 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 52:54:00:5a:4c:8c (oui Unknown), length 548
01:42:15.405075 IP Broadcom.Home.bootps > 10.0.0.40.bootpc: BOOTP/DHCP, Reply, length 300

01:42:20.450441 ARP, Request who-has 10.0.0.40 tell Broadcom.Home, length 28

I think that issue is this:
01:42:20.450441 ARP, Request who-has 10.0.0.40 tell Broadcom.Home, length 28

I'm not sure if this is expected but looks like my dhcp server ignores it.
any thoughts on the matter?
