Ah, STSN.  I've had to hack dhclient because some of their servers

invalid to cause dhclient to discard the packets.

My favorite was the STSN-in-room box crashing when presented with an NS
RR query for the root.  Took a while to figure out that it was crashing
(and rebooting - 15-20 sec outage) everytime the nameserver on the laptop
tried (unsuccessfully) to prime it's cache.
