DHCP INFORM client

I want to be able to send a DHCP INFORM to request application settings, independent of the network handling. The idea is allow application settings to be served from a different DHCP server than the one serving the network settings. It seems to me that it can not be done with dhcpcd?

What I would like to have is an option to dhcpcd which makes it send a DHCP INFORM, call specified script for each DHCP ACK, and exit after specified timeout. Don't touch any configuration. Don't interfere with main dhcpcd operation.

Would that be possible to make? Or do you know of other lightweight tools that could do that for me?
