I'd rather have dhclient listen to the routing socket to know when interfaces come and go. If the interface isn't in a list of 'don't dhcp me' list, then it should add/remove it form the list of interfaces that it is listening to (I'm talking about having dhclient do this directly, and not via OMAPI or whatever it uses). However, I understand people might not want to deal with our current dhclient. Sometimes I think we need to rewrite a BSD-friendly licensed dhclient... Ah, so many projects, so little time. Warner
