 Maybe there is an existing software that I can use.

If your DHCP server is running Debian, then your DHCP server might write out
the leases to a file.  For example, dnsmasq writes them out to
/var/misc/dhcp_leases (IIRC).  Your best bet would be to check out the man-page
of the particular DHCP server you're using.  Most man-pages have a FILES
section near the bottom which should describe where it is storing the leases.

If your DHCP server is running on your router, you'll have to look at the
router.

Hope that helps!

Try Google. There are several CGI scripts around that generate html pages
from the ISC dhcpd lease files.
