Hello,

I recently experienced an issue with mac address uses in ovirt with foreman[1].

Bottom line, a mac address was recycled causing an issue where I could not rebuild a host because of a stale DHCP reservation record.

What is the current behavior regarding the reuse of MAC addresses for new VMs? Can I somehow delay a the recycle of a MAC?

Martin, I recall we had a bug asking not to immediately re-use a recently-released MAC address. Was this possible?
