DHCP force renew

[Randall C Grimshaw]

there is a legacy of some windows clients not appreciating a lease under 10 minutes.... I would greatly appreciate a list of OS that your 60 second lease has worked with - I would love to reduce that setting on our system. Thank you. Thank you.

We set a 60 second lease on our portal subnet.  That way clients
usually renew within 30 seconds.
