This will undoubtedly need more work as people try this out and find things they
would like done differently, etc. However, to begin with you should be able to
do this now:
# /etc/rc.d/netif stop rl0
# /etc/rc.d/dhclient stop dc0
... do something...
# /etc/rc.d/netif start rl0
# /etc/rc.d/routing static
# /etc/rc.d/dhclient start dc0

Running the static routing (rc.d/routing) is necessary after you bring a
staticly configured interface back up.

At the moment, you can only specify one interface to start/stop but it's easy
enough the make it accept more. I'll do that in the next few days.

Cheers.
