I do not think so right now. I created a web interface with a mysql
storage for static hosts and global/subnet/pxe config data at
sourceforge.net. phpDHCPAdmin is the project name. I should add leases
to the functionality as well but we have been using it here for over 3
years without problem.

It wasn't designed for leases, but to allow non-admin users to modify
static host assignments without the problem of someone overwriting
changes to the dhcpd.conf by having more then one copy open at a time.
