Are new clients (Mac) not already spread as info on the network? So couldn't we not just snoop dhcp traffic on gateways and spread the info about acknowledged IPs as well?

Marking this as rejected in patchwork due to the conceptual problems pointed out by Matthias + Linus [1].
@Marek, I hope this helps to reduce the number of patches you have to go through in patchwork. But please feel free to change it back when you think differently about it.
Kind regards, Sven
