I don't know if this helps, but I have found the following in
/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.leases

lease {
  interface "eth0";
  fixed-address 192.168.1.2;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option dhcp-lease-time 3600;
  option routers 192.168.1.1;
  option dhcp-message-type 5;
  option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.1.1;
  option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
  renew 3 2006/9/6 18:02:41;
  rebind 3 2006/9/6 18:27:52;
  expire 3 2006/9/6 18:35:22;
}
lease {
  interface "eth0";
  fixed-address 192.168.1.2;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option routers 192.168.1.1;
  option dhcp-lease-time 3600;
  option dhcp-message-type 5;
  option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
  option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.1.1;
  renew 3 2006/9/6 18:01:10;
  rebind 3 2006/9/6 18:30:23;
  expire 3 2006/9/6 18:37:53;
}
It looks as though it was renewed today, but still had to switch the
router on and off again.
