Need to monitor DHCP performance remotely

[Frank Bulk]

We use dhcping for NAGIOS, works like a charm.  Saved our butts at least
once this summer when dhcp was 'running' as a process on the servers but not
actually handing out leases.....turned out the iptables rules didn't
re-generate as they should have.

IIRC there is a DHCP monitor for Nagios, so you could use NRPE to run
this on remote probes. I like Nagios !
