None to me either.

However that DHCP lease time seems short. How many DHCP servers do you have
per site? With that lease time you should probably have a couple or a
guarantee to be able to not have an outage of the server greater than 3 days
or more preferably (to me) more than 1.5 days - lease half-life. 

About the only time I would recommend to anyone to go below 7-14 days on
lease times is if they are trying to switch values for some of the
networking components through DHCP.

What is the idea behind the 3 day lease time?
