In addition to running dhclient, you also need to create
/etc/dhclient.conf.  I recently "had" to test this, and I found
out that I could get by with an empty dhclient.conf (but it needs
to exist for dhclient to work).  You may want to say

	supersede domain-name "your.dom.ain"

in order to be able to (by default) use short names for hosts in
your own domain.  Note that dhclient will rewrite your resolv.conf
file, so if you have other "precious" items in it you need to figure
out how to preserve them.
