No, the DHCP server is a rather lightweight daemon and will not add  
much load to your current system.  And yes, one could reboot the  
machine acting as your DHCP server without screwing up the clients  
which have already gotten a IP/lease.

Note that rebooting a Unix system is normally not needed for anything  
short of installing a new kernel...
