Hum... can you give a little more of the approach?  I'm probably just not
seeing the clean way of doing this.

I've got a machine on the DHCP required network with two NICs.  Currently
I'm only using one of them and thus don't have it listed in
``network_interfaces''.  So it just happily sits there.  IMHO we
shouldn't try to dhcp configure it.  It will just fill up logs as it
continues to try to get a lease which it can't.
