Unicast DHCP request packets not handled #946

Description

The initial DHCP request is a broadcast packet:

22:52:49.998312 IP 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from a8:40:25:f0:00:01, length 297
22:52:49.998394 IP 172.30.0.1.67 > 172.30.0.6.68: BOOTP/DHCP, Reply, length 304

But a renewal is a unicast packet to the current dhcp server:

22:57:19.834564 IP 172.30.0.6.68 > 172.30.0.1.67: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from a8:40:25:f0:00:01, length 291

And we are not handling those.

// XXX I read up just enough on DHCP to get initial lease working.
// However, I imagine there could be post-lease messages between
// client/server and those might be unicast, at which point these
// preds need to include that possibility. Though it may also require
// a whole separate action (and this should perhaps be named the
// DhcpLeaseAction).
