Query on DHCP transactions

[Kok-Yong Tan <ktan () realityartisans com>]

Before hubbing out and firing up Wireshark, I got curious about  
something while watching a log of DHCP transactions between a DHCP  
server and client: Is it normal after the client has already obtained  
an address, to see continuous attempts by the DHCP server to send  
packets to 255.255.255.255:68 on the DHCP client if the DHCP client  
is no longer asking for an address in a switched network?
