Yes, we need to verify the dhclient package is 2.0pl5. An older version is
on the existing EigerStein disks.

Hmm...kind of a sticky problem. Since I now know more about how dhclinet
works, what about the following:
1) Return the dhclient scripts to their original form (ie knowing nothing
about dnscache)
2) Add a prepend statement to dhclient.conf:
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
This *should* use the local dnscache to resolve names, falling back to the
DNS server(s) provided by the ISP if local resolution fails, and keeps
everything standard but the dhclient configuration file, which is where such
things are supposed to be set.
