1. May be it is possible to decrease load of DHCP server by increasing
lease time.
If address pool is the limit, adaptive-lease-time-threshold option in ISC dhcpd 
may be
useful.

2. Which dhcpd version is used? According to changelog 4.2 has some
performance improvements.

high performance open source DHCP solution?

2011-07-19 Thread Rogelio
The free DHCP solution, ISC, seems to be having scaling issues (i.e.
handling only about 200 DHCPDISCOVER and 20 DHCPRENEW requests), and I
was wondering if anyone had any open source suggestions of solutions
that could scale much better?

(Ideally, I could find a free version of a solution like Nominum, but
I know that's asking for much.)

Anyone have any suggestions?

200 per second sounds like pretty good performance, but you haven't given
any info about your setup either.  Are you disk bound or CPU bound at this
point?
