First there was DHC Leasequery (RFC4388), next DHCv6 Leasequery (RFC5007), now we have DHCv6 Bulk Leasequery. And someone seems to be proposing DHCPv4 bulk leasequery as well (draft-dtv-dhc-dhcpv4-bulk-leasequery).

RFC4388 S4.2 described reasons why SNMP was deemed inappropriate. And if you look at the reasoning there, some of these are not even valid anymore for bulk leasequeries. I remain unconvinced. A far better solution would seem to be define a smaller MIB just for querying leases so implementing it would be trivial. Bulk leasequeries just underline the fact that SNMP and MIB data models are being reinvented inside DHCP.
