PS:  I'll also do the IPv6 part, because I'm interested in that too.


One word of caution moving away from ISC dhcp client is that any possibility of it being started by the networking daemon will result in very bad behaviour if you have any left-over lease files - whether or not you have dhcp set in your /etc/network.interfaces file

In that case, the dhcp server will be spammed many times a second by dhclient.

I'll amend my blog post to stop the networking service, kill any dhclient processes, and then erase any dhclient lease files

rm -f /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient*
