I would have thought that the shipped DHCP client is backwards 
compatible with BOOTP but maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're 
attempting to do...

You're looking at the right spot for example how to configure IP address 
etc. However, you may have missed the code that configures the IP 
address. The DHCP client does have code for directly configuring the IP 
address by itself (configure.c:ifconfig()), but it also passes 
parameters to a script (dhcp-up, qnx_client.c:run_script()). Please see 
the docs for the list of environment variables passed to this script:
http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.4.1/neutrino/utilities/d/dhcp.client.html

Yes, you can create your own script. Not sure what you refer to as "same 
application" though.

The idea is that you'd write your own script which implements your local 
configuration policy.
