 The Linux dhclient (isc-dhclient-V3.0.2-RedHat)  will go to a link local
address if no server responds.

some clients choose to adopt link local addresses and give up on DHCP

correctly-functioning clients that do this. Most of the ones I know of keep
trying, albeit at fairly long intervals. If a client gives up and never
triesagain, it's probably a bug.
