Monitor log files to pick up changes/assignments ?
Add "on <something>" events to your DHCP config to update an external table ?

Once you've extracted information from DCHP to relate

capture traffic flows. If they are your own cable modems, then 
potentially you could just use SNMP to capture interface counters.
