Would love to see that script (everybody is talking about it here...)

Nope. As pointed out in a previous mail: the DHCP client can handle only 
one DHCP configured interface at a time. In order to configure a second 
interface with DHCPSTRT, you need to kill the DHCP client deamon 
dhcpcd.exe. And DHCPMON can only show the status for the interface being 
configured with the current active dhcpcd, as DHCPMON does interprogram 
communication with that piece of software (only).
