Considered trying 3.1.0 alpha?  There's a new feature in it, fairly
untested, called 'reserved leases'.  These are regular dynamic leases
that are reserved for a client.

So expiration ocurrs, the lease still belongs to the client, but
all expiration related events happen as normal (such as ddns
teardowns).

It's kind of klunky to try and get leases flags set 'reserved', but
that's the feature you're asking for I think.
