I'm still struggling with a couple of concepts here ...
- Expectations on how to sync leases from multiple servers into one source
- Using the combined DHCP lease information on server(s) which not the authority 
for the leases anyway

Whether you NFS, Rsync or other solutions to provide the information to all 
servers, I don't know how you expect 18 discrete, authoritative servers to 
coordinate changes and provide for one another, "out-of-the-box."

It sounds like a custom development and integration.
