I seriously doubt you'll be able to get dhcp client to work that way unless
you apply some really ugly hacks to it. :) ppp uses IPCP. See link for
more details:

Nobody on this list can really guess very well at what your setup is. If
you're looking for more specific advice, we need something to work with.
Is this PPOE? Dial-up? Do the logs show anything? What does your ppp.conf
look like? When you ppp manually and connect, are you able to get a
renegotiation with 'add! default HISADDR'? (I'm pretty sure it's a '!' for a
forced renegotiation if_exist, anyway).
I've had my share of brain-dead ISP "techs" too. If it's not on the
flow-chart they follow when they're talking to you, they're completely lost.
It's almost funny. :)
