dhcpleased delay

Hello misc@

My ISP is often enough a bit slow to answer DHCP queries,
so when /etc/rc runs, after netstart, PF is configured,
and I have used the egress group in /etc/pf.conf, my ISP has
not given me a lease, so no interface belongs to that group.

pfctl refuses to load the ruleset and my router machine doesn't work.

I have added a delay in /etc/rc, but that feels not kosher.

I think what I miss is an argument to dhceleased, or a configuration
parameter in dhcpleased.conf to set a longer initial lease timeout,
before going into backgrand and returning control to netstart.

Is this a common enough problem, or should I come back with a diff?

Cheers
