Well, I've written one.  Please could I have your comments?  I have
also written a program dhcp-aggregate to aggregate the leases files.

The aim is for large failover systems to be able to continue
communicating, and not have to stop for five minutes to re-write 250
MB lease files.

This is our solution to the problem of the dhcp server occasionally
failing to resume normal communication after entering the
communications-interrupted state while re-writing lease files.
