I suggest clearing the logging of dhcp AND/OR put leases DB on TMPFS
which can be hold in memory.

Just for the record My user base is 260 users at most for any one point
in time.
 I don't need any more options than it has in fact I find the whole
package to be rather robust.
It took one rough dhcpc 1 hour to bring down dhcp on monowall,
Increasing the size of the 
partition or tmp will only delay the problem. Is it to much for it to
check for duplicate leases.
