Deleting the leases file erases the records concerning the dynamic
association between mac addresses and IP addresses. Therefore, the
server may give already allocated addresses when restarted.<br>
Hopefully, the server (and more and more hosts do the same) checks
on the network if the IP address is already in use. BUT, if it gets
no answer (the host may be temporarily inaccessible), a conflict MAY
arise.<br>

Probability is low, but not null.<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>
