It's worth pointing that AFAIK no current Unix DHCP implementaions allow use of DHCPINFORM and therefore fetching of DHCP configuration independent of getting a DHCP lease _at_all_.
AFAICS ISC's dhcpd has support for it; have a look at dhcp-3.0.2/server/dhcp.c . The function dhcp() marshalls commands out to different functions, and calls dhcpinform() to parse inform queries and send a response.
It _only_ handles inform if it's set "authoritative" for the network, though.
Of course what I _should_ have typed is that not current Unix DHCP *clients* allow use of DHCPINFORM. A quick poke around seems to show that's true for dhclient. No doubt someone will come up with a counter-example!
