    Hi, I was using the 3.11 release of the dual server yesterday with a piece of equipment that required an infinite timeout and I noticed that when 0 is set for the lease-seconds value (for infinite timeout) the dual server isn't outputting the correct infinite value. I found that 3.11 will output 4 bytes for option 51 7FFFFFFF, instead of FFFFFFFF.

    Appreciate your work on this project, dual server will be a useful tool when it's finished. Thanks.

      For the time being, can use the numerical value 4294967295 in place of zero.

      Thanks

      Dear Achal Dhir,

      i´m working with windows release 5.15.

      When i try to force using an infity time lease the start of the dhcp server throws the following exception:

      Section [TIMINGS], Invalid Entry: Lease=0 ignored

      so it is not possible to use infinite IPs for me, do you know that problem and can you fix it?

      best regards
