    might be off here but there might also be a file called
    dhcpd.leases~ which the dhcp server resorts to if it thinks the
    dhcpd.leases file is corrupted. since you edited it manually it
    may very well think has happened.

    i suggest shutting down the dhcp server, renaming dhcpd.leases~
    to something else (or otherwise back it up), edit the
    dhcpd.leases again if needed, and then restart the dhcp server.
