My /var/db/dhclient.leases says:

lease {

  rebind 3 2001/12/5 17:10:55;
  expire 3 2001/12/5 20:10:55;
}

I have

pass in  quick on rl1 proto udp from 24.0.0.0/8 to any port = bootpc

in my ipf.rules.  I'm also running a DNS server on my firewall, so my
inside machines don't have to worry about Road Runner's DNS server
addresses.
