Right -- re-connecting (e.g., via "service netif restart wlan0") should be starting "dhclient wlan0". Because I (also) needed to re-populate my ipfw rules when I get a new DHCP lease, I cobbled up a /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks script; while I was there anyway, I put in some code at that point to make /etc/resolv.conf "sane" (by whatever passes for my standards).
