What does
nslookup `hostname`

----- Response -----
It goes to the DNS server on the WAN side of the gateway whose IP it
obtained during DHCP initialization and, predictably, a system hostname with
a local non-routable IP address would not resolve.
Why isn't the DHCP client running in FreeBSD taking care of this?...
