I tried both (ISC and WIDE) clients last night with mixed results. As far as I could tell, the ISC dhclient didn't do anything productive (no output at all to logs, ed0 still not configured). The WIDE client was really nice -- I used dhcpm to monitor what was going on, and dhcpc would send a request, get an acknowledgement but then would choke configuring ed0. My current method is to by hand startup dhcpm, run dhcpc in the foreground, wait for the response, kill dhcpc and dhcpm and manually configure ed0 and add the routes based on the output of dhcpm. Yes I know I could write a script to do this, but I'm trolling for something better.. Anybody got anything better? Thanks, -Ted
