The free DHCP solution, ISC, seems to be having scaling issues (i.e. handling only about 200 DHCPDISCOVER and 20 DHCPRENEW requests), and I was wondering if anyone had any open source suggestions of solutions that could scale much better?

(Ideally, I could find a free version of a solution like Nominum, but I know that's asking for much.)

Anyone have any suggestions?

That's the first I've heard of scaling/performance problems - writing the syslog entries are about the most work it does. What kind of hardware and how much RAM does the server have? My first thought would be to use a 2nd system which you probably want for failover in any case.
