Random DHCP question

For those of you on DHCP networks for personal use, how long have you been able to keep an IP without it releasing? I needed something quick for a file server, so this is what I had to do. Took my hefty Dell PowerEdge that is a huge workhorse, and got it set up as a psuedo webserver. See for yourself:

I even went to my domain registrar for kicks and made new nameservers with the randomly assigned IP's. Check the whois!

I'm just curious how long (on average) before the IP releases....or how random can it be?
