We have been using Microsoft DHCP Manager 4.0 and over time have made a number of reservations for servers and printers. Is there any easy way to determine if a reservation is still being used? I know when a device first uses a reserved address from DHCP, DHCP marks the reservation "in use". But if that IP address is no longer used because the device went away for what ever reason, how can we determine that the reserved IP address is no longer in use? DHCP never removes the "in use" label after the initial request from a client to lease that IP address. It would be nice to have DHCP take the "in use" label away if the device lets the lease expire, because the client still follows the lease setup for the scope even though it is using an reserved IP address. Or, be able to specify a individual lease time for a reservation. For example if a reservation is set up with a lease of three months, and three months go by with out the lease being renewed, then the reservation is automatically removed. Third might be if the reservation could keep a time stamp of the last time the lease was renewed. It would then be easier to determine if you might want to delete the reservation if it had an old date.
