I just discovered that my issuing this command multiple times causes multiple versions of dhclient to remain running on my system. Perhaps it is related to this problem. As of yesterday (without avahi-daemon and without avahi-apd) I discovered that I was losing ability to resolve addresses after a short time. Killing the multiple dhclient processes seemed to resolve the problem. Is there any benefit to dhclient remaining running? Why wouldn't I always want to use the -x flag, telling dhclient to exit?
