We migrated to a Windows DHCP server for our dorm network.  What I'd
like to be able to do is send the DHCP messages to a Linux syslog server
so I can have a historical record of which machine had a particular IP
address at a given time.  The DHCP events aren't stored in the Windows
Event Viewer.  I did a little googling, and couldn't find much.  I'm
open to any suggestions on how to accomplish this.

I suppose migrating to a Linux box running a DHCP server would be out
of the question?  If you did, you'd get sane syslogging right out of the box.
