The lease file is here:

lease {
  interface "eth0";
  fixed-address 100.86.20.3;
  server-name "RD008CFA0F5734";
  option subnet-mask 255.255.254.0;
  option routers 100.86.20.1;
  option dhcp-lease-time 4294967295;

Title:
  Large lease times cause dhclient to die

Status in “isc-dhcp” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On Windows Azure, the max lease time is used. In digging, it appears
  that the problem is related to the large lease times:

  From /var/log/upstart/netwokring:
  Listening on LPF/eth0/00:15:5d:52:cd:db
  Sending on   LPF/eth0/00:15:5d:52:cd:db
  Sending on   Socket/fallback
  DHCPREQUEST of 100.86.20.3 on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 (xid=0x30df9c2d)
  DHCPACK of 100.86.20.3 from 100.86.20.1
  RTNETLINK answers: File exists
  Unable to set up timer: out of range
  Failed to bring up eth0.
