Device Won't Pick Up DHCP Reservation

I have just rebuilt my server, now running 10.11 and Server 5.0.4 and have come across a little quirk.


When I create a reservation for my Wifes shiny new 6S, I see these errors in the DHCP Service Log and the phone times out trying to get an IP


Oct 4 20:03:52 Server bootpd[12535]: DHCP DISCOVER [en0]: 1,6c:72:e7:1:7b:91 <Donnasrightarm>

Oct 4 20:03:52 Server bootpd[12535]: OFFER sent Donnasrightarm 172.16.0.22 pktsize 302

Oct 4 20:03:53 Server bootpd[12535]: DHCP REQUEST [en0]: 1,6c:72:e7:1:7b:91 <Donnasrightarm>

Oct 4 20:03:53 Server bootpd[12535]: ACK sent Donnasrightarm 172.16.0.22 pktsize 302

Oct 4 20:03:55 Server bootpd[12535]: DHCP DECLINE [en0]: 1,6c:72:e7:1:7b:91

Oct 4 20:04:05 Server bootpd[12535]: DHCP DISCOVER [en0]: 1,6c:72:e7:1:7b:91 <Donnasrightarm>

Oct 4 20:04:05 Server bootpd[12535]: OFFER sent Donnasrightarm 172.16.0.22 pktsize 302

Oct 4 20:04:08 Server bootpd[12535]: DHCP DECLINE [en0]: 1,6c:72:e7:1:7b:91


However when i remove the reservation I get


Oct 4 20:05:04 Server bootpd[12786]: DHCP DISCOVER [en0]: 1,6c:72:e7:1:7b:91 <Donnasrightarm>

Oct 4 20:05:04 Server bootpd[12786]: OFFER sent Donnasrightarm 172.16.0.50 pktsize 302

Oct 4 20:05:05 Server bootpd[12786]: DHCP REQUEST [en0]: 1,6c:72:e7:1:7b:91 <Donnasrightarm>

Oct 4 20:05:05 Server bootpd[12786]: ACK sent Donnasrightarm 172.16.0.50 pktsize 302


And the phone happily picks up 172.16.0.50 and connects no problem.....


I tried creating a static address from the this IP in the Server console (in case i screwed something up when creating the reservation) but that didn't work either.


I have 21 other devices with reserved IP's on the same server and so far none of them exhibit the same problem


Anyone have any ideas, or experiencing anything similar??



Thanks

Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11), Server App 5.0.4
