That may be, but that misses the important point. Your addresses are
statically assigned based on hardware. So what does the lease _really_
matter? They'll get the same IP back. My concern is that my IP is
dynamically given, theoretically with a 30 day lease which Windows boxes
DO get, yet pump only gets an 8 hour lease, even when explicitly
requesting greater length leases.
I also tested this on my local dhcp server and set the lease time to 30
days; pump still only got an 8 hour lease, even when told to get a longer
one. You can tell in two ways a) with the 8 hour lease, it renews the
lease several times a day which gets logged by syslog() and b) /sbin/pump
-s tells when your lease expires.
So, in closing, no, I haven't gotten an answer and am entering this into
bugzilla as I type. I'd like to see this resolved as it's quite annoying
to think that if the hurricane knocks power out for >8 hours, my IP will
likely change :(
