    I have a ADSL modem (domain name: modem.lan) also acting as DNS/dhcp server
    (pretty smart toy). The Windows computers in the office, after boot up and
    requested an ip addresss, also registere a DNS name in the modem
    (netbiosname.lan), but FreeBSD and Linux computers don't register their DNS
    name. So everyday we keep asking "Jerry what's your ip address I need to
    scp a file ..." :(

    I thought it won't be difficult to let FreeBSD register domain name. after
    read the specific part of dhclient.conf(5), I created a /etc/dhclient.conf
    file:
    ------
    #my hostname is thinkpad.lan, 'lan' is our default search domain
    send fqdn.fqdn "thinkpad.lan";
    send fqdn.server-update on;
    ------
    Still my thinkpad runing FreeBSD 5.2 don't seem to have registered:
    zhangweiwu@thinkpad:~>nslookup windowsbox.lan
    Server: modem.lan
    Address: 10.0.0.138
     
    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: windowsbox.lan
    Address: 10.0.0.6

    zhangweiwu@thinkpad:~>nslookup thinkpad.lan
    Server: modem.lan
    Address: 10.0.0.138
     
    *** modem.lan can't find thinkpad: Non-existent host/domain

    I am not sure of the mechnism in domain name registeration; I cannot debug
    it. Is there any obvious wrong operation I am taking?
