On certain cloud platforms (Google Cloud, Packet.net and others) the
DHCP server offers a /32 address. This makes adding the default route
fail since it is not reachable via any interface. Linux's
dhclient-script seem to usually have a special case for that and
explicitly adds an interface route to the router's address.
FreeBSD's dhclient-script already has a special case for when the router
address is the same as the leased address. Now also add one for when
it's a different address that doesn't fall in the interface's subnet.

that changed 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 prefix to 0.0.0.0/255.0.0.0.
In the r228313 this behavior was fixed, and since dhclient-script
got broken.
I'm not sure this fix is a perfect one, it just changes
dhclient-script to set 0.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 explicitly.

The "domain-search" option (option 119) allows a DHCP server to publish
a list of implicit domain suffixes used during name lookup. This option
is described in RFC 3397.
For instance, if the domain-search option says:
".example.org .example.com"
and one wants to resolve "foobar", the resolver will try:
1. "foobar.example.org"
2. "foobar.example.com"
The file /etc/resolv.conf is updated with a "search" directive if the
DHCP server provides "domain-search".
A regression test suite is included in this patch under
tools/regression/sbin/dhclient.

interface is one with the default route (or there isn't one). Use it to
decide if we should adjust the default route and /etc/resolv.conf.
Fix the delete of the default route. The if statement was totally bogus
and the delete only worked due to a typo. [1]

The original DHCP specification includes a route option but it supports
only class-based routes. RFC3442 adds support for specifying the netmask
width for each static route. A variable length encoding is used to minimize
the size of this option.

/tmp may not be writeable yet when dhclient is first run via
/etc/rc.d/netif so using it may not work. Also, writing to a
predictable file in /tmp as root is a really bad idea since a malicious
user may be able to win a race and insert a symlink which will allow
them to cause any file to be overwritten. To solve these problems,
create the tempory file in /var/run which will exist this early and is
writable only by root.

This preserves non-dhclient configured addresses (though they are wiped
out when dhclient is restarted).

state so another interface that connects to the same network has a
chance of working. This doesn't address attemping to connect to both at

inserting a wireless card that associates with an AP bridged to the same
LAN.
