Well, I am not sure how would you apply shell script in such case. The 
problem with the original code is that natd just silently exits, leaving 
machine without a network connection. For some reason this problem 
started after upgrade from 7.4 to 8.2, perhaps there is some changes in 
the dhclient which allows it to run is parallel with other start-up 
activity.

And I don't see any problem with natd waiting indefinitely on the 
interface to acquire IP address, it's no better and no worse than the 
current behavior when the natd simply bails out.
