Fedora NetworkManager and dhclient help request

[Ken D'Ambrosio]

Hey, Pete -- I refer you to the e-mail thread from when I asked the very same
question:
http://answerpot.com/showthread.php?2777045-Dynamic+DNS%3A+Ubuntu+vs.+CentOS. 
or http://tinyurl.com/6hav84b

(I know there are other archives, but this was the first Google hit.)

Shawn's response (search for "Shawn") was the magic that did the trick for me.
