Previously users would see network glitches every 2hrs as the lease was renewed.

Since vpnkit is used in "static" environments, we can offer very long leases. This value is in seconds and > 68 years.

Unfortunately I couldn't specify an "infinite" lease: the value 0xffffffff
seems to get lost somewhere.

DHCP does allow 0xffffffff to represent an infinite lease too, which might be a bit cleaner.
