dhclient restart

....but onto the next problem. My ISP asks me to run a dhcp system
to get my (static) IP address, and recently there have been an
outbreak of disconnections that show as dhclient failing to get a
response
Aug 17 10:54:35 snout dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth1 to 10.0.0.2 port 67
Aug 17 10:54:35 snout dhclient: DHCPNAK from 10.0.0.2
Aug 17 10:54:35 snout dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6
Aug 17 10:54:41 snout dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 15
Aug 17 10:54:56 snout dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 17
Aug 17 10:55:13 snout dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 21
Aug 17 10:55:34 snout dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 2
Aug 17 10:55:36 snout dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.
Aug 17 10:55:36 snout dhclient: No working leases in persistent database.
Aug 17 10:55:36 snout dhclient: Sleeping.

and it never finds anything after waking,and just cycles this. I can
run a new dhclient and it is OK. As I am not always physically here
inside the firewall I really need the dhclient to restart if it fails.
Is there an obvious way of doing this?
