Sorry for leaving that out - client is dhcpcd-2.0.8

Aha - so the best practice would be to actually leave T1 and T2 undefined on 
the server and let the client use the default 1/2 and 7/8 of the values set in 
dhcpd.conf so that if I change the lease, I don't have to remember to 
statically change dhcpT1time and dhcpT2time?
Or is it possible to define these values in the configuration as percentages 
of the lease time as a more dynamic and configuration-friendly way of shutting 
up the warning?

I didn't realize these were referring to the actual T1 and T2 fields...
