  As does /etc/dhclient.db or something like that.
  I think that the solution to this problem is to run dhclient in a
mode where it pulls the lease info out of the kernel's copy of
dhclient (since you probably booted diskless in my opinion, or you
couldn't have an NFS /var before configured the network)

  dhclient then does its things, confirms the lease without doing a
new DISCOVER, and then, from dhclient's script, you do a "mount -t
nfs". The rest of system waits or doesn't, as makes sense.
