For CentOS 5, the command:

      grep dhcp-server-identifier /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth0.leases

or for CentOS 4, the command:

      grep dhcp-server-identifier /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.leases

will list the dhcp server(s) that the system recently got its IP address 
from.  The most recent dhcp renewal should be at the bottom of the list.
