How would that serve my wishes?

The above mentioned way reads the config from 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 then tries to use udhcpc to get an IP 
and if that fails it uses values in  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 
to configure the interface.

Now, if I have an /etc/network/interfaces like

iface eth0 inet dhcp
address 10.0.9.153
netmask 255.255.0.0
network 10.0.0.0
broadcast 10.0.255.255

and use "sbin/ifup eth0" it will try to use dhcp and if it fails it just give up!

So I am not sure what you meant.
