This is backwards. Lease renewals are initiated by the client, not
the server. The client will begin trying to renew its lease after a
configurable amount of time has passed. The default time period is
1/2 the lease period. This gives the client plenty of time to reach
the dhcp server and complete the lease renewal. The lease length and
time before trying to renw are configured not he server, but the
client initiates the renewal.
