dhclient - DHCPv6 - background after timeout?

Hello,

When running dhclient in DHCPv4 mode, it seems the default behavior is to 
background itself if a timeout occurs (ie, if no response is received 
within 60 seconds).  In DHCPv6 mode, it seems the default behavior is to 
wait forever in the event of a non-response.  Is there a way to get the 
background after timeout behavior with DHCPv6?  As best I can tell, there 
is not, but I could be overlooking something.

Thanks,
Scott
