One word of caution moving away from ISC dhcp client is that any 
possibility of it being started by the networking daemon will result in 
very bad behaviour if you have any left-over lease files - whether or 
not you have dhcp set in your /etc/network.interfaces file

In that case, the dhcp server will be spammed many times a second by 
dhclient.

I'll amend my blog post to stop the networking service, kill any 
dhclient processes, and then erase any dhclient lease files

rm -f /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient*
