What is it that you are trying to achieve ? The reason I ask is that 
I can't recall anyone wanting to do this before, I think most people 
just set default, min, & max lease times (sometimes by pool or class) 
and leave it at that.

I doubt if you can set the lease time directly, it is calculated by 
the server. If you have control of the client then you can probably 
set what the client requests - but that is still bounded by min & max 
set on the server.
