dhclient renews lease every 5 secs



This is finally driven me nuts enough to try and fix it.

I use dhcp to get an ip address from my dlink dsl 300+ modem.

The problem is, that it wants to renew it every 5 seconds and syslog
*fills* up with this sort of log message:

Jul 23 22:41:29 vetinari dhclient-2.2.x: DHCPREQUEST on eth1 to 203.87.20.175 port 67
Jul 23 22:41:29 vetinari dhclient-2.2.x: DHCPACK from 203.87.20.175
Jul 23 22:41:29 vetinari dhclient-2.2.x: bound to 203.87.20.174 -- renewal in 5 seconds.


I've tried stuffing around with dhclient.conf to try and specify the
lease time, but I can't get it working.

Can anyone help me.

I gather I can probably get it to log somewhere else, but I'd much
rather have it log *much* less frequently. I have a static ip address,
so it doesn't need to renew frequently at all.


cheers
