Maarten in the other reply has very good points in my opinion.

As for me I'm just toying with stuff to see how things go so no real case but 
more of a "what I would do if such a need arises".

I started with dhclient and it didn't assign any IP address (at least I 
couldn't find out how). Now with dhcpcd the limit is 1 IP.

What's next in this situation? Use another daemon, write a custom script? I 
did this and things are racy and buggy.

Thanks
