Well, skepticism is good. In my experience, Those who is skeptic will,
if they look closer, contribute after a short while :)

Anoying , isn't it. Well you dont have to use dhcp.leases, you may use

I think someone did write something like this,
But I dont think they put it into a package or a tool, and its not in
