Where do you get that ISC DHCPD only handles 200 DHCPDISCOVER / 20 DHCPRENEW
requests? That doesn't sound right. So I wonder what are you measuring?
Is this a number of answers per second your implementation of ISC
DHCPD is providing successfully?
There are architectural facts about any environment besides what
software is performing the DHCP task.
How many I/Os + fsync()'s per second can this DHCP server handle
that does only 20 renews?
