That's not true for Mac OS. If you have an interface configured to use DHCP, and the Mac is unable to renew the lease, it will automatically configure a 169.254.x.y address on the interface. All the while it continues its attempts to renew the DHCP lease and, once successful, removes the 169.254.x.y address from the interface. --lyndon
