I tried the -H option and I get an error message containing:
Usage: dhclient [-4|-6] [-SNTP1dvrx] [-nw] [-p <port>] [-D LL|LLT]
[-s server-addr] [-cf config-file] [-lf lease-file]
[-pf pid-file] [--no-pid] [-e VAR=val]
[-sf script-file] [interface]
and it fail to start. It appears from the error message that the -H
option isn't supported.
