That being the case, they should normally renew at 3 hours on a 6 hour lease but the renewal request for the lease is up to the clients. If your network is relatively static (i.e., not changing servers around) and there are more lease addresses than computers, you can set the lease very high. For example, I would normally set a lease period for 2 weeks (60 minutes x 24 hours x 14 days) YMMV Craig -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
