by "firewall/DHCP" do you mean you offer dhcp as a service?  or just a
client ..

are you asking if it's possible to request a different ip each time your
client requests an ip?  i'm not sure if this operation is possible on the
client side .. and furthermore, i don't see the point (just stating my
opinion ... not meant to sound rude or anything).  in fact, a more
constant ip is often times more desirable (and hence, a lot of isps charge
for this type of service).

dunno if this cleared anything up ... but if it didn't, would you mind my
asking why you would prefer a more strictly dynamic ip?  might help us
suggest some solutions :)  have a good night
