I have running a xserve with osx server 10.5.2
Everything is working fine.
But the dhcp service is working very slow to serve (designated) ips
(MAC-Adresses for fixed IPs).
In some cases it takes nearly 10 minutes until a client gets its ip-
address.
This suggest that you have networking problems of some kind. Before
the server can hand out an IP address it has to check that it's not
already in use. This can take significant time if your network is
filtering out broadcast packets, or dealing with them badly. You
might contact whoever runs your network and find out whether they
realise you're running a DHCP server.
The server itself has a very "high" ip (xxx.xxx.xxx.253) in the
address range and i don't know if that could be a problem.
That should not be a problem.
