How to "ping" a DHCP server

Is there some easy way I can tell from the
commandline whether a DHCP server is alive on
my network?  Ideally it would be a very short,
low impact little probe that would maybe just do
(say) a DHCPDISCOVER and then report the results,
preferably including the time it took to do it.  TIA
