This is an artifact of ISPīs wanting to have static IPīs as an add-on
premium service
so they provide short lease times and change IP as often as itīs feasible

interrupting service unneccessarily.
Huh ? This is an artifact of the way PM3s and MAX 6096s work with respect
to how IP addresses are assigned out of pools.... i.e. this is the default
behaviour. The same goes for our DSL pool.
