My understanding is that dhcpd goes to lots of lengths to ensure that
leases are properly recorded such that even a crash in the middle of a
lease offer to a client will not mess things up. That is, when the
server comes back up it will be in a deterministic state. Now, if you
are talking about a central database on a different host (e.g., you have
a mailserver, dhcp server, dns and apache all on different machines and
they go to a central Postges database), then that is a different story.
If that is the case, I am guessing that you want the ability to drop
in a clean host to act as whatever server has gone done and pull the
necessary state information from the central database. If that is what
you are looking for, I can't help you since that is far beyond my
level of knowledge. However, if your needs are not so robust, I would
think that the standard dhcpd should work just fine.
