IMHO, it is not a good idea to let DHCP, a quite essential service,
depends on a huge behemoth like PostgreSQL, which has its own agenda
:-) And it would complicate the coding of dhcpd.
A better solution, if you want to register your machines in a DBMS
(which seems quite sensible), is to write an export script that goes
from PostgreSQL->dhcpd.conf. It is ten or twenty lines of Perl or
Python...
