I've seen this problem intermittently before. Every once in a while,
this happens (the adapter it happens on doesn't matter):

# dhclient de0
DHCPREQUEST on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPREQUEST on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12
DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12

DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
No DHCPOFFERS received

This doesn't make any sense, since you can clearly see it getting a DHCPOFFER

Could this have anything to do with this:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-November/105257.html
The difference there is that those lines say "rejected", but the
configuration file there is configured to reject 192.168.0.1

I haven't touched dhclient.conf, and this has been happening since 3.8 to 4.2.
I don't know if this is a bug or just something confusing. Has anyone
else ever seen this?
