system: allow polling when gateway monitor reports a gateway as down
To fix cases where DHCP on WAN is not recovering due to modem being stubborn.

+1 to this issue. Would like to know if there is a workaround that I can implement before the feature is included.
Cheers!
As far as #5956 is concerned 2de4658ef0ccd6c05 teaches us that dhclient desperately needs a wrapper script to remove the cached IP and/or bring down the interface in order for it to be reconfigured later. Right now when dhclient exits and the link does not go down/up we don't have the chance to run any sort of post-dhcp hook to bring it back up.
I am experiencing flapping after getting disconnected and reconnected to Wan. ( I have to reboot opnsense to fix it)
Can you confirm it's one of the symptoms that should is included in this issue?
From what I gathered a lot of people are experiencing this and it was a "long time issue"
Thank's for the hard work!
Flapping is the exact opposite of this problem. Here we never have flapping but dhclient exist at some point and we have no way of knowing. Link down/up actually correctly cycles dhclient.
This might just work starting with 23.7.2 when default gateway switching is enabled, for details see #6728
Situation doesn't appear to happen as often anymore, so closing the issue.
