dhclient reusing old leases when it shouldn't

[Daniel O'Connor]

Hi,
I have a bfe0 and an ath0 interface and I have
ifconfig_bfe0="DHCP"
ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP"

in rc.conf. I use ath0 at home and bfe0 at work.

I find that when I come to work I end up getting a lease on bfe0 but shortly 
afterwards I find my resolv.conf is stomped with an old lease from ath0 and 
stuff stops working.

It would be nice if there was some higher level which decided what information 
to use, but I'd settle for dhclient not touching per-machine stuff 
(resolv.conf, routing etc) unless there is actually a link active on the 
given interface :)
