(RADIATOR) IP Lease problem

[Skeeve Stevens]

Question 

We currently have a pool of 64 IP's stored in a database, and when a
user connects AND they don't have a static IP they get assigned one from
the database of dynamic IP's... 

The problem I have is that the pool has the Lease Period set to 24 hours
after 24 hours the dynamic IP is reclaimed... which is all good.. 

But what if the user was dedicated and did not disconnect after 24
hours.
The IP still gets reclaimed.. and can be assigned by the database to a
new connection even though the user is still using it.. 

If I set it to have no Lease or a Lease longer than, lets say a week and
the user has no stop record, then I risk not getting the IP back for a
while if not at all... and the pool can fill.

Any Thoughts....
