If you mean, 'Can Nagios monitor a DHCP server's supply of leased IP 
Addresses to DHCP clients ?'.

Yes.

There is a linux-specific plugin in the contrib directory for this 
purpose.

If you want a more general purpose check_dhcp plugin, there are suitable 
Perl modules and code (although I don't know where they are).


HTH,

Yours sincerely.

me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
