Two notes: - I have a tool for DNS which increases exponentially the clock speed. It is used to check re-signing & co. It is based on redirection of the gettimeofday system call in a very similar way... - unfortunately your solution won't work between reboots so you have to remove the client lease file to reset the state (this file is used at startup as an optimization and is not critical at all, BTW many clients have no stable storage so should not depend on it).
