I think the question was more directed for an internal DHCP server.

I don't know that there's an actual high end limit, but I'm fairly sure 
that there's no indefinite/infinite lease.

However, if you want to permanently assign an IP to a particular system, 
but allocate it through DHCP, you could simply add definitions to your 
dhcpd.conf file based on MAC address, like so:

host perm-guest {
hardware ethernet XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;
fixed-address YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY;
}
