The DHCP overhead is almost not worth counting unless your lease duration is
1 day and everyone will get a new lease when they boot. Say you had one
DHCP server for every 1000 users with a 8 day lease. On a big day, you may
get 100 people with lease expire. I just don't see the traffic. If you
want new servers, I don't think selling it based soley on DHCP is going to
help much. Like any car, you need to change the tires every 30,000 miles or
end up with more issues then saving the $400 bucks for new ones. Maybe
someone has a better answer for ya. Good luck with your project, sounds
fun. Cheers!
