[ale] Monitoring dhcpd.leases file?

I need to monitor ISC's dhcpd.leases file so that I can feed new leases
into a processor (which will log them to a database). My processor listens
for data on a Unix socket . So I'll want to feed the data being appended to
dhcpd.leases into that socket. But I also need it to still write to the
leases file.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might go about doing this? It's
going to need to run non-stop.
