Hi,
as [1] didn't list anything that sounds like the -B option that was discussed here I was wondering if this is really a case of our dhclient being not up to date.
I've found the option that Stephan referred to in Fedora, but it isn't from a recent upstream version.
It seems to be non-upstreamed Fedora Delta for quite a while [2][3][4].
Why it isn't upstreamed, I have no idea, but I wanted to share the links if anyone wants to give it a try for a Ubuntu package as it isn't too easy to find.
