Check for the expire_session parameter under [registration] in conf/pf.conf.

Here's the pf.conf.defaults entry:

# registration.expire_session
# If expire_mode is set to "session", this is the amount of time after
# a node's iplog entry is closed that it reverts to an unregistered
# state.
# Warning: Does not work in vlan isolation mode!
expire_session=5m

To enable it, you need to set session into expire_mode.

For ex, in your pf.conf have:
[registration]
...
expire_mode=session
expire_session=5m

So if there's no ARP activity from the node for more than 5 minutes 
it'll be unregistered.

Let us know how it goes.

Cheers!
