Well, we need a better solution. :)
What about adapting Nathan's idea (attributes) for the protocols, too? We
could have a temporary and a permanent attribute table for each protocol.
The core module loads the permanent table for each protocol on boot-up and
saves it on shutdown (or on request).
The IP address of each interface is saved in a local attribute while there
should be global attributes for the nameservers.
The DHCP client could wait for the specified interfaces to go up and then it
sets the IP address and adds the new nameservers to the temporary global
table.
