dhclient with '-s ' flag
I want to understand under which circumstance this command is valid. As i can see, using this command the discover packets have unicast destination ip same as that of the provided server ip while the destination mac is broadcast. Is this a valid packet, as I am not able to get ip using this flag.

I think that receiving an answer with -s flag it depends on the listening dhcp server (or its configuration).
Short answer, it works with dhcpd server but it fails with dnsmasq one.
Long(er) answer, using "dhclient -v -s 172.16.0.1 eth1" will get an IP if the listening server is dhcpd:
[root@c602 ~]# dhclient -v -s 172.16.0.1 eth1

In both circumstances, when dhcpd or dnsmasq are the acting dhcp server, the DHCPDISCOVER is reaching the server but is not answered by dnsmasq; seen this with tcpdump on server machine. (tcpdump -nnnvvvi eth1 port 67 and port 68)
