how to count IPs in use

[Timothy Gavin]

If the UTC thing is confusing, you can find current UTC on a *nix machine with "date -u"

I just set a second clock up that always shows UTC.

11:26 CEST is 09:26 UTC, 09:26 is earlier than 10:24, therefore the 
lease expiry time is still in the future (at the time you rote your 
email).

At the top of your DHCP leases file you will find :

# All times in this file are in UTC (GMT), not your local timezone.   This is
# not a bug, so please don't ask about it.   There is no portable way to
# store leases in the local timezone, so please don't request this as a
# feature.   If this is inconvenient or confusing to you, we sincerely
# apologize.   Seriously, though - don't ask.
