bash$ ./check_dhcp -s 192.168.0.4      
DHCP ok: Received 1 DHCPOFFER(s), 1 of 1 requested servers responded, max 
lease time = 18000 sec.
bash$ ./check_dhcp -s jersey.sghosh.org.
DHCP ok: Received 1 DHCPOFFER(s), max lease time = 18000 sec.
bash$ host jersey.sghosh.org
jersey.sghosh.org has address 192.168.0.4


Is the IP address correct?

There has only been one version of check_dhcp as far as I know.
