dhclient in 6.0

[make stuff up]

  hi all..

  this is new - just installed 6 and here:
  # dhclient fxp0
  DHCPDISCOVER on fxp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
  DHCPDISCOVER on fxp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
..............................................................................................
 and a few other intervals...

  so if the fxp0 is up and the dhcp server is up then whats wrong with
dhclient?...
  i'm actually writing from a machine on the same dhcp server...

  thanks...
