dhclient canonically takes the interface(s) it has to service from the
dhclient.conf file. You can specify a lot more parameters there.

That's what I added to the end of my dhclient.conf file:
........
# See the ISC dhcp documentation for more details on this file
supersede domain-name "think.ch" ;
supersede domain-name-servers 194.124.158.50;
interface "eth0" {
send dhcp-lease-time 86400;
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers;
require subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers;
retry 60;
}
.............
I have not found anything that would start dhclient in /etc/init.d. If
dhclient does not start as you say you could always add a startup script to
/etc/init.d and use the RCDLINKS variable to define where to put the
symlinks to it. This method has been mentioned a few times lately in this
list..
I found a little quirk in the dhclient_exit_hooks on the shorewall refresh.
For some reason I have been to lazy to track down shorewall refresh did NOT
restart shorewall so I replaced it with shorewall start.
