The suggested script allows you to set your nameservers in rc.conf.
I seriously doubt you need to do that every 30 minutes. It should
be enought to write it on startup, so give it a try.
Better idea would be a PR to the docs folks about highlighting the
resolv.conf file section in the handbook: <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/
en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-configfiles.html>. I had
to get the single file HTML and search it a bit before I found the
reference shown above (even though I basically knew about it
already). So if you skip over that section of the handbook you won't
see the relevant note to read the manpage for dhclient(8) unless you
ask someone or find another referring manpage.
