According to your log the dhcp server sends the offer to 192.168.1.247, but the probe doesn't listen to that IP address because it is still trying to get one. The proper response would be to broadcast the offer.
Ah, well spotted! I've enabled the 'always-broadcast' option (ISC dhcpd 4.2.2) to force a broadcast to be sent even when the client doesn't request it. ...
