It is happening repeatedly (and not just on my shared networks, as I
had thought).  Should I try to edit the dhcpd.leases file and remove
the duplicates?


Also, on the memory thread again.  As I mentioned before, I currently
have about 4200+ active leases (probably about 6300 defined in my
"range" declarations), with dhcpd about the only thing running on this
computer.  It's redhad linux 5.2 (2.0.36) with 64M of RAM.

   $ ps aux | grep dhcpd
   USER       PID %CPU %MEM  SIZE   RSS TTY STAT START   TIME COMMAND
   root       288  2.8 89.3 116872 56444  ?  S   Mar 24 185:30 /usr/sbin/dhcpd

"top" reports the following:

As you see, it's only been up for 4 days, and dhcpd has grown
DRAMATICALLY from when I first start it (not to mention used swap
space has grown dramatically too).  After a reboot, I get the
following:

   $ ps aux | grep dhcpd
   USER       PID %CPU %MEM  SIZE   RSS TTY STAT START   TIME COMMAND

   $ top

So my question is, if dhcpd claims all it's memory upon startup, why
is it growing from a mere 3M to 54M+ ?  Am I worrying about something
that is normal?
