I tried this a few weeks ago (just before OUD) and it didn't immediately work 
for me.
The DHCP server I ran it against is known to be a bit odd, so I figured there 
was some bad
interaction. Unfortunately I didn't have time to dive in and debug it, so I 
switched to
a static IP as a workaround. I'm sure a bit of printf debugging in the DHCP 
code will
reveal the problem :-)
