[Huh??]

If I kill the dhclient, shut down and restart eth0 and run dhclient
again, it still binds to vmnet8, which I thought I'd shut down above.
There is no dhclient.conf anywhere on the system – do I need to create
one? (Seems like it....)

So, how do I force the dhclient to use the DSL modem as its default
gateway and the route to the internet?
