Sure. But then this seems to be a site specific non-standard use case, 
so site specific modification could be sufficient, I figure.
Fixing it for bookworm would be good, though.

Yes, that's still the case. 

I'm just wondering about the reported 30 minutes. It seems to be the 
default lease time on the backbone network (1800). Maybe raise it to a 
site specific value? (Can't test it, can't contribute more for the time 
being.)
