howto configure DHCP to reject renewal of lease

Hi,

What I'm trying to achieve is to configure the ISC dhcpd to give the client 
(when it tries to renew its lease @T/2) a new IP address - to avoid having 
the same IP for a long time.

So, let's say: client1 is given IP1 for 1 day, after 0.5 days client1 will 
ask dhcpd to renew its lease - i want the dhcpd to tell him DHCPNAK - you're 
not allowed to renew your lease. This would force client1 to send a 
DHCPDISCOVER message again and ask for a new IP

Is this functionality available in v3.0.4 of the ISC dhcpd?

Thanks,
Gilbert
