ICMP ping? Are you sure?

According to the documents I've read (RFC2131 amongst others) it's the
client that is responsible for renewing the lease. However, if you were to
run a dhcp client on your diskless workstation then it would be assigned
the same address that PXE had previously obtained, so all would be well.
