pump seems to be quite feature-poor. It bugs me to death on Red Hat.
For example, I could not find a way to configure it to run a script
whenever the lease is granted or renewed (needed to update a dynamic
DNS service). I don't know why we use it when all the other alternatives
are better. I use dhcp-client (dhclient) here.
