Hey there, net comando, First, don't cry about bandwidth, that argument got flushed with 14.4 modems.
Anyway, the dhcpd.leases file is in /var/lib/dhcp but, that won't help you. Anyone on the net can get an IP, so if you delete, it will be given a new one. Back to the drawing board. The easiest thing, would be to manage via a proxy server. I am sure that squid has options for this type of thing. But YOU wan to get them off the net, and take their birthday, er, IP Address away, right? So, looking at that, and looking at man dhcpd, you are very limited in wanting to take away an IP for certain periods of time on a daily basis. For example, you can set your dhcpd.conf file to expire leases after 8 hours, but if the client reboots, a new one will be assigned. I think what I would do, is (outside of squid management) setup a firewall rule to block said IP's, and then a firewall rule to unblock those same IP's, and cron them out. Then, you will not affect the rest of the network, just those IP's, and the script should be a simple one. From the client side, he will still have an IP, but will be unable to ping squat due to the firewall rule you've slapped on him.
