First, don't exit when the link goes down on an interface. Instead,
teach dhclient to track changes in link state and to enter the reboot
state when the link on an interface goes up causing dhclient to attempt
to renew its existing lease.
Second, remove the change I added to clear the old lease when dhclient
exits due to an error (such as ifconfig down). If an interface is
using autoconfiguration it should keep its autoconfiguration as much as
possible. If the next time it needs a configuration it is able to reuse
the previous autoconfiguration, then leaving the settings intact allows
existing connections to survive temporary outages, etc.

The "domain-search" option (option 119) allows a DHCP server to publish
a list of implicit domain suffixes used during name lookup. This option
is described in RFC 3397.
For instance, if the domain-search option says:
".example.org .example.com"
and one wants to resolve "foobar", the resolver will try:
1. "foobar.example.org"
2. "foobar.example.com"
The file /etc/resolv.conf is updated with a "search" directive if the
DHCP server provides "domain-search".
A regression test suite is included in this patch under
tools/regression/sbin/dhclient.

it to configure the interface. When the script is complete, dhclient
monitors the routing socket and will terminate if its address is
deleted or if its interface is removed or brought down.
Because the routing socket is already open when dhclient-script is
run, dhclient ignores address deletions for 10 seconds after the
script was run.
If the address that will be obtained is already configured on the
interface before dhclient starts, and if dhclient-script takes more
than 10 seconds (perhaps due to dhclient-*-hooks latencies), on script
completion, dhclient will immediately and silently exit when it sees
the RTM_DELADDR routing message resulting from the script reassigning
the address to the interface.
This change logs dhclient's reason for exiting and also changes the
10 second timeout to be effective from completion of dhclient-script
rather than from when it was started.
We now ignore RTM_DELADDR and RTM_NEWADDR messages when the message
contains no interface address (which should not happen) rather than
exiting.

internal buffer sizes.
When we 'append', assume we're appending to text. Some MS dhcp servers will
give us a string with the length including the trailing NUL. when we 'append
domain-name', we get something like "search x.y\000 z" in resolv.conf :(

Security: A buffer overflow (by one NUL byte) was possible.
In the MPSAFE TTY branch, I noticed PTY's to be leaked, because
dhclient's privileged process was run inside the session of, say, the
login shell. Make sure we call setsid() here.

lease: track the current bssid and if it changes (as reported in an
assoc/reassoc) event only then kick the state machine. This gives us
immediate response when roaming but otherwise causes us to fallback on
the normal state machine.

The original DHCP specification includes a route option but it supports
only class-based routes. RFC3442 adds support for specifying the netmask
width for each static route. A variable length encoding is used to minimize
the size of this option.

check the domain-name parameter according to the rules for "search"
strings as documented in resolv.conf(5). Specifically, the string must
be no more than 256 bytes long and contain no more than six valid domain
names separated by white space.
The previous unchecked values could result in a mangled resolv.conf
file which could effectively deny access to local sites. This is not
a security issue as rogue dhcp servers could already do this without
sending invalid strings.

include a space seperated list of domains instead of the domain of the
host. This is supported on too many platforms to break for now so,
remove validation of this option for the moment.
The correct solution longer term is to implement RFC 3397 support and
then treat domain-name options containing space seperated lists of
domains as domain-search options for backwards compatability.
