The problem for us is that we manage reservations through a central
MySQL database (through a fancy UI for our hell desk), but leases are
stored in memfiles on each DHCP server (8 HA setups for 16 total). So
our tooling doesn't directly connect to the dhcp servers (and doesn't
even know which dhcp server a reservation 'belongs' to).

If there is no other way, we'll have to rework our tooling to find out
where to send this API call to (and punch some holes into the
firewalls). Not the end of the world, but this seems to be a feature
more people could benefit from.
