man 8 dhclient-script

At least if you're running ISC DHCP.

There are some standardized hooks you can tie into by adding files to /etc, plus you can just hack /sbin/dhclient-script; for flexibility in porting dchlient relies on a shell script to actually do all of the local IP address changing and whatnot, so you can customize the behavior when it loses a lease.
