renewal, or we lose link, be more forceful about clearing interface
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
once, but appears to allow unplugging from a wired interface and then
inserting a wireless card that associates with an AP bridged to the same
LAN.
check the domain-name parameter according to the rules for "search"
strings as documented in resolv.conf(5). Specifically, the string must
be no more than 256 bytes long and contain no more than six valid domain
names separated by white space.
The previous unchecked values could result in a mangled resolv.conf
file which could effectively deny access to local sites. This is not
a security issue as rogue dhcp servers could already do this without
sending invalid strings.

accept NUL-terminated strings as required by RFC 2132.
This solution is not perfect as it removes the ability to send
NUL-terminated host-name options which may be required by some broken
servers. Given the current lack of an existance proof of such servers
and the fact that servers that send NUL-terminated domain names do
exist, this seems like an acceptable compromise. A discussion of these
issues can be found at:

include a space seperated list of domains instead of the domain of the
host. This is supported on too many platforms to break for now so,
remove validation of this option for the moment.
The correct solution longer term is to implement RFC 3397 support and
then treat domain-name options containing space seperated lists of
domains as domain-search options for backwards compatability.

Enable dhclient to poll the interface state and send only
requests if the interface has an active link. This is a
great benefit if you often change networks with your laptop
and you do not like to kill/restart dhclient all the time.
Changes are automatically detected and the link is refreshed.
The change allows us to start dhclient in background mode
while the network cable is not plugged in.
To control the polling interval, the option -i has been
introduced. It takes seconds as parameter, the minimum is
one second, the default is five seconds.
Polling is done in seconds, not microseconds, because dhclient
does internally work with timeouts in seconds.
This change will be part of the next major ISC-dhcpd release.
Tested by: bms, imp, and many many others.
