I just had a look at webmin. I was hoping for something more limited and 
targeted to just monitoring dhcp assignments. webmin is designed for a 
collection of other admin tasks that we are more comfortable doing other 
ways, and even within the dhcp module a lot of it is for overall 
configuration of the server.

I guess if there is nothing more limited and targeted to dhcp monitoring 
we may give it a try.
