Thanks Nick.

The timeout is set by the DHCP server when it provides the IP. You
have to change the server's settings (or hack dhclient I guess) to
give you this ability.

Unfortunately the dhcp server is not under my purview.
Hacking code is not in my skillset. :[
I am interested in parameters in the event of not being able to contact a
server (PROTOCOL TIMING section - timeout, etcetera).
The way I read dhclient.conf(5) is lease features are able to be specified
in dhclient.conf (LEASE REQUIREMENTS AND REQUESTS - to prefer/reject
certain servers) and overridden (OPTION MODIFIERS).
These are not the items of interest to me.
The ones I am interested in are documented and exampled.
What I don't see is the interface information.
>From the man page:
EXAMPLES
timeout 60;
retry 60;
reboot 10;
select-timeout 5;
initial-interval 2;
reject 192.33.137.209;
Several items I am interested in. No mention of the interface.
Best wishes,
David
