As others have pointed out that won't work.
I'm trying to remember why we get leases on a per host basis and I think
it is for a simple reason, NFS. We update the leases in your home
directory and if your home directory is nfs mounted then we can corrupt
the leases file due to races (yes, we saw this all the time when we had
one leases file). So we stick the leases for a particular host in that
host's file.
