client request preferred IP address

Is there a mechanism to specify a preferred IP address to pass to the DHCP 
client?  That is, I'd like a specific IP address from the DHCP server, if the 
IP address is available.  If not, I'll take whatever the server has 
available.

I scanned the dhclient.conf man page, and didn't find any means to do this via 
the config file.

	thanks,
	Jeff
