DNS - IPv6

How the phones don't take an IP from my Windows DHCP if it responds first, is beyond me - but so far no issues.
It's called playing fast and loose. Works often, no guarantees. It's called taking a risk and walking away leaving the potential future issues for the customer to deal with.

They asked if it was OK.. It seemed OK at the time. But I could see the potential for issues in the long run. I'll consider changing it when I move to the flat network...

You are not on a flat network? That is how it works. You can have as many DHCP servers as you want as long as they do not see each other.

No, I have several subnets. The networks see each other through a router.
I'm not sure what you mean that you can have many DHCP servers as long as they don't see each other?
In my current setup, at this branch location of 10 PC's and 16 phones I have two DHCP servers. Each provide IPs for a different range in the same subnet. The Mitel PBX has a DHCP server but only responds to Mac addresses belonging to Mitel phones. The windows DHCP will respond to everything. My question was - what happens if the Windows server responds to a phone faster than the Mitel DHCP server? I'm guessing the phone wouldn't work.
This branch will probably always be on a different subnet (local to that location), but my main office has 5 /24 subnets.. I'd like to move them to one /22 subnet.
