I have a question about DHCPD 2.0.

I want to serve fixed IP addresses with an unlimited lease time
to clients that are identified by a dhcp-client-identifier instead
of by MAC address.

The server doesn't seem to support the -1 lease length indicating
an unlimited lease, so I figured that instead of a genuinely unlimited
lease, I would serve leases of 2^31 seconds.  This seems to work, but I
am concerned that the dhcpd.leases file now shows the end date as being
prior to the start date:

lease 192.168.10.0 {
        starts 3 1999/03/17 15:53:44;
        ends 6 1931/02/28 12:39:35;
        hardware ethernet 40:00:c9:71:62:7f;
        uid 6c:61:6e:69:30:30:30:73:69:74:65:31;
}

Is this going to cause any problems?  Ideas on better ways to do what I
want to do?
