Build a custom log entry on a DHCPACK CentOS 6.

Well, I think I've found the issue, and it's not with dhcpd.  We 
originally had the log-facility option set to local7.  I'm thinking that 
this, coupled with the fact that the custom log we're creating caused it 
to log twice.  Once I removed the local7 logging most of that stopped.

Now it only logs on a DHCPACK for most leases.  Turns out, we have a few 
of our customers with multiple routes to devices and that certain leases 
are being handled by two routers.  So, we'll get an ACK going out from 
the dhcp server to two different IPs. So, it's not actually duplicate 
logging, just logging the same data from two different router IPs.

So, everything looks good now.  Thanks for the help.
