I have also been in contact with my ISP several times, as I find it ridiculous that they deliver a 100/100 Mbit line to me, but cannt offer me more than 2 public IP´s. But thats how it is, they cant give me more IP´s, so I´m stuck with needing some kind of NAT-solution :(
I recently saw a projection that IP V4 address space would run out in 2011. Possibly there is some form of pressure on ISPs to keep down their requirements for new IP V4 addresses.

@wallabybob:
Have you tried using a different type of interface (e.g. fxp, bge, …) on the WAN interface?
How do I do that? As I understand it, em0 gets it´s "name" from the type of NIC I´m using, in other words, the idea is to switch NIC?
The NIC´s are INTEL PRO/1000, so I would find it strange if thats the problem.
Maybe you had some problem specific to a particular interface type (e.g. vr) and changing to another interface type (if you had more than one on your system) might cause an interesting change in behaviour. Maybe changing the WAN interface (e.g. em0 to em1) might cause an interesting change in behaviour.
You say your ISP allocates you two public IPs. Are these on the same subnet? If so, presumably pfSense sees DHCP renewal requests from Linux box. I wonder if that might have some correlation with dhclient exiting.
