Peter,

You'll see in the NetworkManager package a binary called
NetworkManagerDispatcher, which currently will listen for and respond to
signals from NM about network device changes.  It calls scripts
in /etc/NetworkManager.d when that happens.  While it doesn't get called
for DHCP changes yet, perhaps it could be, and could be used to rewrite
and 'kill -HUP' the named process.  Would that work for you?  Colin W.
might also have ideas on this.
