For what it's worth I have around 25 Linodes active, mostly in Newark but a few in Atlanta and Dallas as well.
Of those I had two in Newark which actually had their leases expire before we were aware of what was going on and then found three more (two Atlanta, one Newark) once we knew what to look for which were failing to renew. All five of those machines already had network helper enabled as Linode suggests but were unable to get a lease even with manual operation of the DHCP client until they were rebooted.
