I have been trying to piece this one together from all of the replies.
Have you tried to establish a superscope? This will allow a single DHCP
server to sevice two scopes according to:
http://www.tokeshi.com/raturl/plan2003dhcp
http://www.tokeshi.com/raturl/noassignedfromsuperscope
http://www.tokeshi.com/raturl/superscopedhcp
There was a mention of reducing the lease time. The problem is that by
default the DHCP server doesn't delete after the lease expires until the
grace period.
This grace is 4 hours. If there is an issue with granting leases, it
will initiate a cleanup. This cleanup will occur by default every 60
minutes. Still you will need to modify the grace period.

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you
know, in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest
constraint to scaling up?! Get this free white paper to understand the
real constraints & how to overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather
than buying more servers.
