        I really don't see how it could not work.

        Run this from a shell:

        cat /sbin/dhclient | grep reload

        What does the results say?

          it does not say anything:
          –----------------------------

          Enter an option: 8

          cat /sbin/dhclient | grep reload

          Binary file (standard input) matches

              Works fine for me, only lost my ip 2 times, and that was before the latest snapshot.

                Great!  Almost started to go insane, because I know this fixed my issue.  Please, someone else test?

                    Atm there is a workaround in pllace that will restart the dhclient when it exits. Does it get restarted?

                        It can take up to 5 minutes to restart dhclient depending on if check_reload_status is running.

                        So if you still have trouble please check that check_reload_status is running from a shell by doing:

                        ps awux | grep check_reload_status

                        Also, cat /etc/crontab | grep check

                          I found yet another problem.  This WAN DHCP issue has been nothing but fun!

                          Try out a recent snapshot atleast an hour from now.

                              Yes the problem still exists and we have been racking our brains out – literally.

                                    At this point reinstall.  My dhclient has been rock solid for over 24 hours!

                                        Make that 48 hours.  And Vescovo has been running it for 48 hours on 2 wans with 180 second renewal time.

                                        This issue is fixed for sure and verified now by 3 different people.

                                          Thats nice to hear =)

                                          But just one thing, could you reboot your pfsense and monitor it again ?

                                          My issue always come after a while when pfsense is rebooted, and the issue disappears after i push the renew button.
