Hi there....

There's lots of memory free on the box...

There's about 1000 devices connected to it - do I need to fine tune buffers?
Also, am providing DHCP services to all these devices...

Thanks!

How much free memory do you have and what is the size of the largest 
block of it? malloc() fails typically show up when the router is very low 
on free memory or the free memory is so fragmented that IOS has trouble 
allocating new chunks when requested.
