  The module returns FAIL if it can't assign an IP address.

  What happens after that depends on your local configuration

  Which comes from where?

  The server doesn't randomly assign IP addresses.  It only assigns IP addresses when you tell it to assign IP addresses.

  The IP pool module doesn't assign the same IP to two different users.  It relies on the database to track usage.

  Now, if the NAS lies to FreeRADIUS about who is online, then anything can happen.  But you can't blame FreeRADIUS for that.
