Hi Thomas -  I'm sorry for the really long delay in replying.  For some
reason,  I missed this email when it arrived, and only now found it when
I was glancing through the other emails.  Of course, I was glad to hear
that the option would be added to dhclient - it would save me patching
it for each update, and would definitely be useful to others as well.

If possible, and if it's not too late, I would like to be mentioned as
Indy, of the FireballISO open source project
(https://fireballiso.sourceforge.io/). It's up to you whether to put in
the URL.

Thank you!

-Indy
