The question is: how does the ISP expect to distinguish between the two IP address leases? This is a matter of how they have configured their DHCP server, and only they know the answer. Your dhclient.conf seems to assume that they're using dhcp-client-identifier for that, but my guess would be that they aren't. [More common is to just use the MAC address itself, in which case you can't get more than one address with a particular MAC.] You need help from your ISP -- at least enough to know what they're expecting your machine to do.
