The problem most likely isn't with dhclient itself - dhclient follows the 
protocol.   It's probably that dhclient is being used correctly.   If you 
acquire an IP address using dhclient, and then kill dhclient but keep using 
the address, then that can create a bad situation.  Also, if you put your 
machine to sleep and dhclient loses track of what time it is, then when it 
comes up it may continue to use the IP address when it should not be using 
it.

Interim updates should work just fine in the situation you describe, actually.
