Where does DHCPD store its backup of the dhcpd.leases file?

Hi Simon

Thanks for your response.

Hmm. Can't I tell DHCPd not to remove leases which are not in a range?
I think that would solve my problem. Or, what also would solve my
problem would be to configure Leasequery so that it also looks up
information in the dhcpd.conf file - so that if there's a host entry
with fixed-address, leasequery returns a LEASEACTIVE with the fixed ip
address and mac address of the host.

I'm considering to patch DHCPD but I'm not good at C and I don't think
it's a good idea.
