 FWIW, OpenBSD's version still fixes the TTL at 16.  The ISC dhcp client uses a 
 ttl of 128.
 
 Looking online it seems other clients also use 128, e.g. Microsoft's:
 
 http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&ved=0CF8QFjAF&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport.microsoft.com%2Fkb%2F169289&ei=q0J1UfyvLcHD0QGr2YCoCA&usg=AFQjCNHVHJavHlqkEPoA4LIc16FOJPZy4w&bvm=bv.45512109,d.dmQ
 
 Given that, changing the default TTL to 128 seems fine.
