As long as the client can actually renew the lease it will continue to
unicast requests to the old server. So unless the scope is disabled on
the old server (making it reply with NAKs or not reply) they will not
move to the new server.

Are you actually seeing DISCOVERs on the old server? Or just REQUESTs?
(Takes a server that actually logs this to find out of course.)
