This box is behind my freebsd 4.3 firewall running isc-dhcp-2.0.3
Here is my dhpcd.conf on my firewall (192.168.0.1) if there is some
misconfiguratino maybe we can find it here?
root:/usr/local/etc# more dhcpd.conf
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.200 192.168.0.210;
option domain-name "tntpro.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
}
host tony {

That opinion, of course, is your perrogative. I do agree that the high
frequency of renewals in tony's case is probably due to some
(mis)configuration on the dhcpd side. Although, why dhclient should now
log this useless information is beyond me. I consider it to be a minor
bug.
<soapbox>BUT, I don't agree with saying that just because a component of
FreeBSD has worked in the past, means it should always work. Esp a
component that has been MFC'd reciently. An MFC that has produced at
least one legitimate bug thus far.</soapbox>
Ok, I'm done. Thanks for putting up with me. :)
