Sysupgraded my 6.9 personal server to 7.0 tonight. Only IPv6 came up
(which I have a custom dhcp setup for, as required by my host).

On the daemon log, this shows up:
Oct 24 02:04:17 momoyo dhcpleased[92859]: parse_dhcp: invalid ports
used 107.189.0.254:52260 -> 255.255.255.255:68

What I understand from this is that it doesn't like ephemeral ports
used by dhcp servers.

A glance at dhcpleased(8) and dhcpleased.conf(5) indicates there's
currently no way to disable this check. As I am not the admin of the
network, there's little I can do to fix the dhcp server itself, thus I
reverted to the old dhclient via hostname.if.

To do so I commented out 'dhcp' and added a '!dhclient \$if' line.

A possible solution would be to offer a setting to relax this check
i.e. print a warning message but accept the lease.
