lease file parsing

[Randall C Grimshaw]

The feature that I would like to request is the ability to name pools so
that they are consistently identifiable in the lease-balance log
messages.

In this way a syslog scanner can monitor for low pool situations,
provide time based statistics, etc.

Not trying to answer your question, but I recently wrote a Perl module
for parsing dhcpd.leases files:

s.pm

It'd be nice to know if anyone else finds it useful.
