There is no real advantage to using a single common file unless you're
going to use a single dhclient daemon (which is an advantage in saving
memory).

Even in one file, the leases are segregated by interface name.

Just provide the name of the files as a flag to dhclient.  The flags
are documented in the manpage that comes with the source distribution.
