  I believe a DHCP reservation is simply a server configuration
artifact, not something in the actual DHCP wire protocol.

  So, that would really depend on the implementation, of both server
and client.  First, it will depend on what the server gives for a
lease time on reservation.  I imagine a server could just use the same
lease time it does for dynamic IP addresses in the scope, or it could
issue an infinite lease time.  Then it depends on the client.  A
client with an infinite lease time may decide it should check in
periodically anyway, or restart its DHCP cycle for other reasons.
