Periodic interface reset - renews DHCP lease?

My ISP has informed me that my assigned IP address will change at midnight. Looking at /var/db/dhclient.leases.igc0 (WAN), I see that my lease is valid for a few more days.

So I set up a cron job for shortly after midnight for periodic interface reset on wan. Will this have the desired effect of renewing the lease on the WAN and pulling the new address?

Well it cannot renew, but the interface reset is indeed what you want it will release and get a new one.
