Did you ever get an answer/solution for this? I live in an area with
frequent prolonged power failures and a less than totally reliable cable
connection. With 8 hour leases and 45 minute window to renew, one could
frequently lose IP assignment.

Indeed, but the client can also request a specific lease time, and thus
far, I haven't managed to get a pump lease for anything other than 8
hours, even by explicitly requesting a longer lease from the server. The
fact that windows boxes get 30 day leases off of the same dhcp server is
disconcerting to say the least...
