Note that the new dhclient binary is now violating the rule as well since it's
not being lenient. :) At the very least, it could just throw out the
domain-name and keep the rest of the lease rather than rejecting the entire
lease offer. I've worked around it for now though and can wait a week or two
to see what you come up with.
