Why would your client mess with DHCP on roaming? Mine at home never do. 
I roam between 3 of them several times a day, a proper handoff on both 
sides means i don't even realize it happening, let alone re-associate 
with DHCP and all that jazz - it happens at the MAC layer and isn't 
visible to the OS unless it asks the current station BSSID and decides 
to do something about it. "APs properly configured" comes into play here 
heavily.
