DHCP Lease renewal will not cause any network interruptions.   They 
clients starts trying to renew halfway through the lease time.  If there 
are no changes to the address lease, then the only thing that changes is 
the expiry time of the lease.  At Expiry time, if the lease has not been 
renewed, the server is free to assign that address to another client.
