I think the concept of "appropriate dhclient hook" might be exactly what
I was after -- could an "appropriate dhclient hook" perhaps be used to
update the name servers being offered by the DHCP server? And would that
be done by updating dhcp.conf and restarting the dhcp server, or would
that cause other problems?
And, is dhclient a separate piece of software from systemd.networkd?
Because I am using the latter at the moment to get the IP address from
the ISP on the firewall machine, although I am not married to that
method, it's just that it was super-easy to set up and worked first
time, so I never had reason to look for an alternative.
