Frequent DHCP requests from Wii

[Jeffrey Goldberg]

This is particularly a FreeBSD question, but finding that there isn't  
a newsgroup for DHCP (and I am running dhcpd on FreeBSD), I'll ask here.

We've got a Wii in the house, and I've got an entry for it in my  
dhcpd.conf

  host wii { hardware ethernet 00:19:1d:dd:66:d3; fixed-address  
wii.ewd.goldmark.org; }

which correctly resolves to 10.1.10.145

And everything works fine.  However, the Wii keeps on making requests  
every few minutes.  Here is a bit of the dhcpd logs.  The requests  
come at irregular 1, 2, 5, and 9 minute intervals in this bit of the  
log.
