DescriptionSeen in inline mode when there's huge lease files (a lot of devices).

Additional InformationOn startup, after reading the dhcpd.conf file, dhcpd also reads the saved dhcpd.leases file

Due to some kind of problems in the 4.2.3-P2 spec file (can't manage to correctly update the 3.0 dhcp package), we decided to use a previous version which still correct the problem.
Uploaded rpm 4.1.1-9 for centos 5 x64

Experienced the slow dhcpd restart causing freeradius watchdog to fail because PF took too long to restart radiusd.

I wonder if we should put that rpm in our repo so that it'll be installed by default.

I think it's really something we need to look into.
It's causing problem on a lot of client setups.
