For the first response, neither did I! I just changed the renewed lease time to 5 days so I could easily see it was working. For the second, I agree it sounds less than ideal, but I'm not sure how else you would do it. Maybe your design could change a little? Perhaps the client-side object can quietly "phone home" asychronously for some new info? Perhaps the client-side object could raise an event that you handle on the server?
