It appears that dhclient isn't dropping the old lease, but simply adding
a new one on top of the existing one. I ran into a similar problem when
I was first trying out the scripts for the "udhcp" package, which I 
fixed. I would agree with what was said before that this is caused
by a strange lease being given by the ISP's DHCP server. You
might try replacing the "dhclient/dhcpd" packages with the "udhcp"
package and see if this clears up the problem. I've never received
any feedback to verify this, but I may be able to apply the same 
fix to "dhclient" if this turns out to be the same bug I ran into before
with "udhcp". Let us know if you try "udhcp" and it works better in
this specific way!

If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question!
