Hi,

> I would make sure that the HTTP requests are uncoupled from the DHCP server's operation.  Instead of launching wget directly, do something else as cheaply as possible (eg. create a small file with the details of the transaction, rename when finished) and have another process watch for those and have it push them off with wget.

totally agreed - you want to ensure that all events are logged and then
have eg a PERL script using the Tie file module to basically follow through the
event log and action the correct stuff.
