 I have another running 1.2.2

 P4 single core
 1Gb ram
 2Gb Flash on module
 
 At the moment it has 1033 dhcp-clients and has none of the listed problems.


The size of the client pool isn't as important as the size of the
dhcpd.leases file itself.

Go to Diagnostics  Command and execute this:
ls -l /var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd.leases

I'd be interested in the output from the working and the broken system.

This is from the working system: -rw-r--r--  1 dhcpd  _dhcp  1252586 Jun  9 
21:30 /var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd.leases
15 minutes later: -rw-r--r--  1 dhcpd  _dhcp  1286101 Jun  9 21:46 
/var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd.leases
This is from the broken system: -rw-r--r--  1 dhcpd  _dhcp  39935156 Jun  9 
21:30 /var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd.leases
15 minutes later: -rw-r--r--  1 dhcpd  _dhcp  77714885 Jun  9 21:45 
/var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd.leases

I've found one malfunctioning device that was sending 1000pps out on the dhcp 
protocol. I shut it off..
The error is still there. Is there any way I can reset the dhcpd.leases file.

And by the way. Thank you for taking the interest:)

That would do it, the dhcpd.leases file is larger than the memory a
single PHP process is allowed to take up in your case (32MB)

Stopping and restarting the dhcpd service may be enough, it is supposed
to clear out duplicate leases when it is reloaded. If the malfunctioning
device is shut off, it shouldn't continue to grow.

Status  Services, click the restart (|) button next to dhcpd.
