Subject: [dhcwg] Question about dhclient detects DHCP server.

hi all,

I only want DHCP client (dhclient) knows the DHCP server exist and active, I don't want 
dhclient gets the lease duration and configuration information from DHCP server.

It means client can broadcast the DHCP discovery message on the LAN to find server
and receive the DHCP offer message from server. But the following steps (e.g. DHCP request 
and DHCP acknowledgement ) will be cancel.

Does dhclient and dhclient.conf support this function? 

The following are some descriptions about my version.
OS: Debian 
kernel:  2.6.8-2-686
DHCP client: 3.0.1-2

Best regards,

Justin
