Frequent DHCP requests from Wii

This is particularly a FreeBSD question, but finding that there isn't a newsgroup for DHCP (and I am running dhcpd on FreeBSD), I'll ask here.

We've got a Wii in the house, and I've got an entry for it in my dhcpd.conf

host wii { hardware ethernet 00:19:1d:dd:66:d3; fixed-address wii.ewd.goldmark.org; }

which correctly resolves to 10.1.10.145

And everything works fine. However, the Wii keeps on making requests every few minutes. Here is a bit of the dhcpd logs. The requests come at irregular 1, 2, 5, and 9 minute intervals in this bit of the log.
