Whenever the server receives a request that matches one of it's 
fixed-address assignments, it returns the same IP address. The server 
does not record lease duration, expiry or anything else as it will never 
offer that address to another client. It is up to the client to ask for 
a renewal of the lease if it thinks it is expiring or needs to be renewed.
