Once per hour it dumps the contents of memory back to the file thus truncating the file and recording every current lease (and usually expired entries such that it has a listing for each IP that is in use/has been used). This file is needed or leases will be forgotten about on server restart and duplicate IP assignments would happen.<br><br><hr id="zwchr" data-marker="__DIVIDER__"><div data-marker="__HEADERS__"><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid #1010FF;margin-left:5px;padding-left:5px;color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"kawamura keiji" <kawamura.keiji@jp.panasonic.com><br><b>To: </b>"Users of ISC DHCP" <dhcp-users@lists.isc.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Thursday, March 14, 2019 4:15:51 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>How to limit dhcpd.leases file size<br></blockquote></div><div data-marker="__QUOTED_TEXT__"><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid #1010FF;margin-left:5px;padding-left:5px;color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;">
