What is you get a workstation that is beaconing, do you need to have the 
workstation in the database in order to see this problem or is this trap that 
is unrelated?

If you know the DHCP range and you don't want to manage the clients,
shouldn't you just exclude the range from discovery.  This way, it
won't clutter you database.  The sites I am managing uses the lower 128
addresses of a range with 255.255.254.0 mask for servers, routers, and
switches.  I just excluded all other addresses from getting discovered
at all.  At one point, I had about 3000 nodes.  I was able to cut it
down to around 700 at when I manually enter the ranges.  It make our
job a lot easier if there is a good IP addressing scheme implemented.
