Thanks for the reply.

I'm not using failover, and dhcp-cache-threshold is not set.

This instance of dhclient is running on the box I use as a
firewall/router for the service from my ISP (Comcast).

Here's my dhclient4.conf: (apologies, I should have included it with my
initial query)



script "/usr/local/sbin/dhclient-script";

initial-interval 1;

send dhcp-lease-time 345600;

supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
supersede domain-name "example.home";
