You mean dhcpd server right?  As long as you are working on this, please 
consider the following:

* Perhaps use the "rhpl" and pygtk stuff shared among the 
redhat-config-* and system-config-* tools.  I have not personally looked 
at it yet, but they seem to share that package for common functions (?)
* Common RH/Fedora configuration options like used for tftp/PXE boot 
(installer) and tftp/PXE/etherboot (K12LTSP).  I would encourage you to 
talk to Eric Harrison and the K12LTSP community on the K12OSN list.

K12OSN list (Fedora for Educators and K12LTSP)

That's all I can think from the top of my head for now.
