Have you tried commenting everything out of dhclient.conf? I don’t
see any wrong but its sometimes useful return a system to its
default state.

To see what is happening with the /sbin/dhclient-script which does the
actual configuration, you will need to modify it to output some
debugging info. Add the following two lines to the start of the script.

  exec 1>>/tmp/dhclient.log 2>&1
  set -x

Then restart dhclient.

Hopefully that output will give you some insight of what is going on.
