Right, but on a wifi hotspot you're probably just as well off with 
nothing more complex than a short lease time.  This concept would only 
be useful on a network large enough that frequent DHCP renewals are 
putting a major load on the network or DHCP server.  For the majority of 
us, it wouldn't really be necessary.
