Bug description:
  On Windows Azure, the max lease time is used. In digging, it appears
  that the problem is related to the large lease times:

  From /var/log/upstart/netwokring:
  Listening on LPF/eth0/00:15:5d:52:cd:db
  Sending on   LPF/eth0/00:15:5d:52:cd:db
  Sending on   Socket/fallback
  DHCPREQUEST of 100.86.20.3 on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 (xid=0x30df9c2d)
  DHCPACK of 100.86.20.3 from 100.86.20.1
  RTNETLINK answers: File exists
  Unable to set up timer: out of range
  Failed to bring up eth0.
