"DHCP, Standalone versus Coresident Server

Typically, DHCP should be configured to run on a standalone server  
because a large number of devices requesting DHCP configuration could  
cause high CPU and memory usage, which can impact server performance.  
Therefore, you should not run DHCP on a Cisco CallManager server. In  
some instances, given a small Cisco CallManager deployment with no more  
than 1000 devices registering to the cluster, you may run DHCP on a  
Cisco CallManager server; however, if the server experiences high CPU  
load, you should move DHCP to a standalone server. If more than 1000  
devices are registered to the cluster, DHCP must be run on a standalone  
server. "
