and natd (where I've fixed the rc script to work with the dhclient case)

The problem here is that a box not connected to lan with dhcp hangs till
you press CTRL C.

If this change provides errors in some setups, I'll revert it and add
a option to dhclient to wait at least 5 seconds if no lease has been
aquired.
