Getting the gateway address certainly can be useful, but is not necessarily
the same as getting the DHCP server address. DHCP often is served by a
machine other than the gateway. Furthermore, the network stack has no
reason to notice or remember the address of the DHCP server. Probably the
only way to get the DHCP server address is to drop a request packet on the
network and look at the source of the response. (I am sure someone more
knowledgeable than me will correct me if I am wrong. :-)
