Hello,
I?m running ISC 4.4.1 (migrated from 4.3.1) and I noticed that the dhcpd.lease
file has records from 2014 until now, is this normal? For the dhcpd.lease file
to keep records that old? The file size is about 2.2Mb right now.
Thanks

Subject: isc-dhcp3.6.p1 restart problems
Hello dhcp-users
Sorry if this posts is redundant. I first sent it using the wrong mailaddress
Today we faces a strange issue. Our dhcp server was working fine when we
checked the log files but the server did not hand
out any ip addresses. After consulting the logs we found several ?issues?
background:
We have two servers in an active ? cold standby scenario. Both servers have the
same config and the same lease time
(copied with rsync after a server restart). Only one server is active, the
other server is ready that we can put them into production
if the server 1 fails.
Our provisioning system creates a config snippet with classes and host
statements. At the end of the file we write down the
number of lines in this include file.
The server checks every 5 min if we have a new file. If so we put all the
different snippets into one file (after checking that we
still have the same number of lines) and makes a diff of the running and the
new dhcpd.conf. If we have differences, we restart the dhcpd.
In the configuration we have a global on commit statement, that checks the ip
range the request is coming from.
If it is from 10.21.0.0/16<http://10.21.0.0/16> or
10.23.0.0/16<http://10.23.0.0/16> we execute a php-script which generates a
config file, that then can be downloaded via tftp.
Otherwise we don?t execute anything.

Oct 11 13:11:21 FTTH-DHCP-01 dhcpd: Server starting service.
During the ?down-time? these log lines were not reported.
That our management has some fancy graphs, we parse the dhcpd-pools output and
put that data into an rrd.
(If the mailinglist drops the image attached: we have about 3k active and 277
free leases. Around 12:00 the server immediately reported 223 active but 2995
free leases). The whole server has about 9k leases
On all our ?bigger? ip pools we have a similar graph. At 12:00 the active
leases dropped significantly and the free leases jumped up. So dhcpd pools also
saw a problem too?
This is the first time we have such an issue and we use the isc-dhcp since
version 3.x. Currently we run 4.3.6-p1 on a FreeBSD 11.1 AMD64
Does anyone has an idea what happened? Or how we can ?protect? us against this
one?
My first idea is to grep for the ?Listening on?? or ?Server starting service.?
Line in the logs and do the restart again if me miss the line. But since a
normal restart from cron didn?t help (12:03, 12:08, 12:13, ?) I?m not sure. The
only alternative I see (atm) is to send an sms or email if we miss the
?starting service line?
Any help is appreciated
