dhcpd.leases issue

[Richard Migneron]

As you can see, all the leases come from the same machine (hardware ethernet
address).  You probably have a small TTL for the lease life.  It is normal.
But you may want to increase the TTL to more than 1 minute, otherwise your
dhcpd.leases will increase in size very rapidly and your DHCP server wont be
doing anything else than serving new leases !!!!
Unless, you rebooted the client multiple times ...

Cheers,

Richard
