What I wish to do is use this value as a failsafe timeout on the remote ed of a temporary-VPN setup. When the workstation dials in to the ISP, I would like to read my IP and the expirarion time from this machine. I will then submit these values to a daemon on my production server, which will establish my VPN. I know little about DHCP at this point, and less about it's implementation on FBSD. Pointers to manual materials/RFCs etc, appreciated.
