It keeps it in memory, but not flash. So if the router reloads and you do not
have the dhcp
database saved off, it will start from the beginning of the pool again. The Ci
sco dhcp server does
do ping tests, but I believe it removes addresses from the pool that respond to
 a ping, so you could
quickly loose address space.
