I've got dhclient working just the way I want it to, except for this
particular bit.  As you say, the man page does tell me that there is a
way, and it even hints that omshell(1) can be used to do it, but I've
been unable to figure out how.

By experimentation, I've worked out how to use omshell to suspend and
resume dhclient (this is suspend; resume has "set state = 4"):

/usr/sbin/omshell <<EOF
server 127.0.0.1
port 580
connect
new control
open
set state = 3
update
EOF

If someone has a hint for me regarding how to use omshell for telling
dhclient about added and removed interfaces, I'd appreciate it!
