Just do two seperate dhcp client state machines that each send different DHCP client identifiers. A conforming DHCP server will treat them as separate devices and assign each one a separate address. You may run into trouble if you try to deploy your DHCP client in an environment where only one IP address is available for it, though (e.g., in a cable modem or DSL environment).
