Yolanda here:
Draco is at Hogwarts 9 months out of the year.  As 
long as the house-elves removed evidence of DE guests 
and meetings, Draco would never know what goes on when 
he's away at school.

During the 3 months that Draco is home, Lucius would 
have to take percautions.  There could be certain 
areas of the mansion that Draco can't enter and for 
that matter has *never* been able to enter.

The escaped DEs would have to be careful, but then 
again, they have to do that anyway.  

The DEs could apparate directly into certain rooms, 
use the floo, or apparate close by then come in 
through a side or back door.  Malfoy's estate would 
be fairly secluded and probably have a nice, high 
brick wall around it which would help hide the DEs 
comings and goings.
