Hi Nicolás
The dhcpd.leases man age describes the format of the leases file.
binding state state; next binding state state;
The binding state statement declares the lease's binding
state. When the DHCP server is not configured to use the
failover protocol, a lease's binding state will be either
active or free. The failover protocol adds some additional
transitional states, as well as the backup state, which
indicates that the lease is available for allocation by the
failover secondary.
A binding state of "active" means there is a client using this
particular lease now.
A state of "free" means there is no client using this lease at the
moment and it is available to be given out by the server.
