<div>It looks as if I have a bunch of MACs with multiple
leases. I'd like to start over with a clean leases file. Is
there a way to clean the leases file while dhcpd is down? I
know I can't just delete it, as that would lose all my dhcp
static entries.<br>

That's actually exactly what I do, just delete the file. Static
IPs are defined in dhcp.conf, not in .leases. The .leases file just
gets updated every time there's a connection change. I have yet to
see any ill behavior from deleting it. All the systems on the
network will at some point renew without a problem.<br>
