Scott, I have previously tested this quite thoroughly on my local servers and I can't find anything wrong.

The ip_address is only set in the template if mac_address is defined in the power parameters. That mac_address is supposed to be the MAC of the BMC, *not* the host.

The intention of this logic is to get around the fact that BMCs that use DHCP can change their IP address at any time. If you want to revert to the old behaviour, don't set the MAC address.
