Set the lease expire time to at least 5 days (7 to 10 is better) and the
renewal time to between 4 and 12 hours.
Then setup a dhcp monitoring process that will alert you if it fails to get
an
address or renewal.
Make sure you have more addresses available than you ever expect to give
out.
I go with 50% more. I've known some admins that want at least double.

Setup 2 dhcp servers on the network. If one fails, the other will hopefully
continue to serve addresses. Monitor this one as well.

Start reading logs.
