autoIP and DHCP client cause alias IP address

If I use autoIP together with dhcp.client and a DHCP server is able to provide an IP address I also get an alias address
 from autoIP.  I end up with two accessable IP addresses. Is there any way to run dhcp.client so I don't end up with the
 autoIP alias?

This is on a 6.4.1 system.

Re: autoIP and DHCP client cause alias IP address

I've found that I can detect the alias address and delete it using

  ifconfig en0  delete 169.254.20.20

and I no longer have the alias (169.... is an example IP alias address).

However, the alias comes back after a while.  Who is generating the alias -- the auto-ip driver or the dhcp.client?
