    Hey folks,

    I have my freebsd DHCP server set up and working great. Well great for
    Windows clients, but not much so for BSD clients.

    Under the Windows clients I just set the host name and when the DHCP
    gets a request it dutifully does the job of assigning an IP address as
    well as putting in the proper DNS entries. I have tried the same for
    another BSD computer and it gets the IP address just fine but the
    request doesn't get passed on to DNS for updating.

    I tried the dhclient.conf being blank and then also tried putting in
    entries as suggested by man 5 dhclient.

    Any ideas on getting BSD to have the same behavior as Windows?

    This is what I have for dhcpd.conf

    option domain-name "squeaks.net";
    option domain-name-servers msmouse.squeaks.net,204.127.198.4;
    server-name "msmouse";
    server-identifier 192.168.100.250;
    key rndc-key {
      algorithm hmac-md5;
      secret "wouldn't you like to know";
    };

    zone squeaks.net. {
      primary 192.168.100.250;
      key rndc-key;
    }

    zone 100.168.192.in-addr.arpa. {
      primary 192.168.100.250;
      key rndc-key;
    }

    default-lease-time 600;
    max-lease-time 7200;

    # If this DHCP server is the official DHCP server for the local
    # network, the authoritative directive should be uncommented.
    authoritative;

    # ad-hoc DNS update scheme - set to "none" to disable dynamic DNS updates.
    ddns-update-style interim;

    # Use this to send dhcp log messages to a different log file (you also
    # have to hack syslog.conf to complete the redirection).
    log-facility local7;

    # No service will be given on this subnet, but declaring it helps the
    # DHCP server to understand the network topology.

    # This is a very basic subnet declaration.

    subnet 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
       range 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.99;
       next-server 192.168.100.250;
       option routers 192.168.100.105;
       use-host-decl-names on;
    }

    dhclient.conf is...
    interface "ed0" {
                send host-name "pixie.squeaks.net";
                request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
                     domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
                script "/sbin/dhclient-script";
                require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
    }
