In my experience at this age it is bullying behavior and they target one or two specific children. is this the case or does he bite anyone and everyone? If he does single out kids to bite I wouldn't allow them to interact unless closely supervised and I'd get to the bottom of why he was biting. at this age however it is a learned behavior. he is getting something out of it...like his own way....or intimidating others which needs to stop. (OK just read your second post and it is definitely bullying behavior).
I am lucky in that I have never had a biter in my home care but dealt with two at the centers where I used to work. Contrary to popular belief it is not very common even in toddlers so this behavior at his age is very unique and I would say it is a big problem. What consequences are you practicing?
