DHCP-binding states

[crashnb]

Hallo Glenn,

i have readed the dhcpd.leases man page so how i did it for the rest of 
the dhcp man pages.
but there is now where described what is released and expired!!! i have 
searched the web too but no where is a decription.

Tim Peiffer has described me what are these felds are for, but i would 
be shure that i am right.

best regards
