Avahi autoipd behaviour when Link goes down

Hi,
 
I am using avahi autoipd alongwith udhcpc. The scenario is following
 
DHCP  server is switched off, so after lease time expiry autoipd is triggered and it assign an IPv4LL address.
Now the ethernet link goes down, this causes the avahi-autoipd daemon to exit.Is this the default behavior ? 
 
In case when the link comes up and dhcp server is still not there then how should the autoip be triggered again.
I have added creation of avahi-autoipd in "deconfig" event of udhcpc.script.
 
Even when the link is down udhcpc keeps running shouldn't autoipd also continue running ?
 
Regards,
Rajat
