Re: DHCP failure

If you're running DHCP and the DHCP server is down when a

The attached patch [not yet applied] fixes this.  Comments?
It works fine in my test environment and solves the problem.
If this seems reasonable, I'll commit it.

While I agree it does seem flawed with multiple interfaces, I agree it is less bad than before. Perhaps an explanatory comment alongside it might be useful, just to say what's wrong and that this needs to be fixed up properly.
