Is it possible to update the metric of a configured interface?

[brjoha]

dhcpcd uses the interface metric (priority) with respect to default route and DNS configuration.

My multi-interface use-case is taking other factors into consideration, resulting in a dynamic interface metric.

dhcpcd wlan0 -m <val> --reconfigure had no effect, whereas dhcpcd wlan0 -m <val> --rebind did.

However, the latter involves an unnecessary exchange with the server. Am I missing something that would allow the former?
