Regarding the 'dhcp' option, I wonder if it should be deprecated in
favor of new 'dhcpclient' and 'dhcpserver' options; both of the new
options would optionally accept an address list. Without knowing whether
an interface gets its IP address via DHCP or whether a DHCP server on
the router provides DHCP services to the network connected to an
interface, unneeded rules must to be generated.

I suppose that an alternative would be to assume that the router is a
DHCP client when an IP list is specified to the existing 'dhcp' option.

Opinions welcome.
