I'm using dhclient to obtain an IP address from my ISP.  They claim that I 
am "hard coding" an IP because my IP doesn't seem to change.  I know that 
dhclient keeps a database of past leases and attempts to renew the same IP 
whenever possible.

Is there anyway I can direct my ISP to some documentation that would make 
them stop getting angry with me?

Is it correct to say that dhclient simply ASKS for the same IP again and if 
their dhcp server says "yes you may have that IP again" then and only then 
will it be allowed or does dhclient attempt to steal the IP back in any 
way?  (I don't think it does).
