True, it never ends, until it gets trashed. intentionally or otherwise.

No, AFAIR all you need to do is maintain /etc/dhclient.conf.  This is
probably a server issue then.  If you don't find a solution by this
evening, I'll check my configuration, and post the results.

Do you have a static DNS then?  The DHCP server will return relevant
DNS server info if requested (this may not be strictly correct, I'm no
expert).  So it looks to me like you are requesting the DNS server info
from your server, and this is what gets applied to your DHCP client
machine.  There is a setting to turn this off in the client machine.=20
The documentation will help for this.  I *think* that you need to turn
off the request and things will settle down.
