Yep.
Turns out that Hendrik Sattler was correct in that the client is using 1/2
the value set in the server, although it's a debian client not a windows
client that's doing that. Maybe all clients do that -- or maybe the
server is sending 1/2 the config value (seems unlikely).
Anyway setting default-lease-time 1200; now has the clients sending the
request every ten minutes.
