Thank you for the pointer to this cool plugin...
Unfortunately no solutions to date really fill the bill as the leases
are allocated by a router that does not publish them in a way I know how
to get... nor can I put anything on the DHCP hosts... they are not under
my control...
Maybe there is a way to hack into my router and get the lease info... or
maybe I need a little daemon that will just go and probe for all
possible hosts... I would just like to see an accurate depiction of who
is on the net at any given time... maybe this is not something nagios is
good at (i.e., dynamic host groups).
