As anyone ever tried to set max_lease_time on DHCP to 60 seconds? I want a machine on my netowrk to do so for security reasons. Of course when I try to get a winbloze box to renew every 60s it times out after it tries to renew the second time! No probs w/ linux boxes renewing every 60secs! Any help ????

You're asking for trouble. This is going to create so much neetwork traffic, it'll make your head spin. Try setting the time to a little longer, say 60 minutes. Good luck.
