Thanks! I don't have a problem with the server issueing the address. But I just want to query that address only, without actually configuring it for the interface afterwards. Im sure there are existing tools which can do that, its just that dhclient doesnt provide that feature on Debian. So Im looking for the name of an alternative dhcp client that does.

@Maestro if you don't have a problem leasing the address then please remove that constraint from the question
