Perhaps you can use the omapi(3) interfaces. I'm sure the ISC developers would 
like to know why you cannot and perhaps provide the interfaces you need. Or 
you could wrap omshell with the input you retrieved.
Whichever, it would allow you to get rid of the locks all together by putting 
the burden on the DHCP server, rather then a shared client program.
