  It's a front end, not a server.  Try adding 10M records to SQL: not a
problem.  Try adding 10M records to ISC DHCPD: 10m startup time with an
*empty* leases file.

  Sauron would be a fair bit easier if the DNS/DHCP protocol servers
would read/write to SQL natively.  Plus, the data in the GUI would be
live, rather than stale.

  See a post to the sauron list describing this exact problem:

  3.1, in which the failover protocol is incompatible with 3.0?
