Hi!

I have implemented RFC3442 support for the FreeBSD dhclient.
Patch can be fetched from
http://butcher.heavennet.ru/patches/other/dhclient/

I have a small bit of testing with isc-dhcpd and dnsmasqd.
And i think it works fine. I have tested with:
1) Normal classless routes: 10.0.0.0/21 router, 10.1.0.0/19 router
2) default route
3) link routes: 192.168.0.0/24 0.0.0.0, 192.168.1.0/24 0.0.0.0

I don't know what i should make with incorrect data received from DHCP server..

At a glance I don't see any major issues. I won't have time to do
anything more with it for at least a couple weeks. I'd suggest filing
a PR with it to ensure it isn't lost. Ed, if you're interested in it,
feel free to commit.

The one thing I might worry about is that implementing classless static
routes means you have to ignore the default route and I'm a little
worried there might broken servers out there that spew bogus ones.
There's probably not way to find out other than shipping a release
though. :(
