try to put these in a manual network configuration ...
would look like this:
in /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 66.203.194.60
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 66.203.194.255
gateway 66.203.194.1
then do /etc/init.d/networking restart
ifconfig; route -n

i do not think it is a bug in that case. i am using multiple
dhcp-servers and many clients (evidently) and everything works like
always.
if u still suspect dhclient being the problem, u might want to try pump
instead.
