Subject: Re: dhcp client
Maybe this little hack can do the trick for you.
It's one of many plugins used with the Nagios network monitoring system.
I haven't looked through the code (really ugly thing, but you might get
through it with gnu indent), so I don't know how it's working 'under the
hood', but it might just do the trick for you. Possibly with a couple of
modifications.
