Different IP every time

[Darren]

You could do some over subscription.  However, that won't force a change 
at the end of the lease, unless the lease actually ends (ie: The device 
is not turned on and updating the lease) it will just mean that the 
device is likely to get a different IP when it comes back as the 
previous IP will likely have been recycled.
