Personally I have this in /etc/rc.conf,
host="mylap" ; domain="company.com"
host="mylap" ; domain="no.net"
host="mylap" ; domain="home.net"
hostname="$host.$domain"
case $hostname in #{
"mylap.home.net") #{
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.10.11"
# whatever other things too
;;
"mylap.company.com")
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10......
;;
ifco........
"mylap.no.net")
;;
esac
Before I shut down to leave, I edit it, moving destination domain
to last in list.
What I should do is eg:
ping -c 1 some_known_site_dependent_host
or better still set up dhcpd hosts, & let the laptop search for
site dependent dhcpd servers.

The topic has been discussed numerous times over years on
mob...@freebsd.org, I think it better the topic stays there than
on net@ :-) so search the mobile@ archives
( net@ seems more appropriate for somewhat deeper stuff, if eg DHCPD fails
to negotiate or whatever. )
