Dear mailing list,
I am sorry if this question has been asked over and over again -
however the htdig search interface for the lists is somewhat shaky
and gives referrer errors for me.
Pre-conditions.
Dualhomed firewalled FreeBSD7.1. One nic is LAN and the other
dynamical IP from ISP.
Question: What is the canonical way for catching the IP address from
a DHCP assigned nic (from ISP that doesn't set hostname) and put the
IP into /etc/hosts with a hostname?
Reason for asking
Firewall rules needs refreshing after new IP
Possible answers:
Create dhcp-exit-hooks (undocumented?) in /etc like so:
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! -z "$new_ip_address" ]; then
IP=`ifconfig WAN | grep 'inet' | grep -v 'inet6' | cut -f 2 -d ' '`
if [ ! -z "$IP" ]; then
echo "$IP wan.local.domain wan" >> /etc/hosts
<refresh firewall rules here>

Hello. I think pf can handle with dhcp updates on interfaces pretty well.
If only I get your question right.
Hi Jeff and thank you for your reply,
Yes, I know that pf will handle interfaces just fine, the question was
not specific to pf though but more around dhclient, dhclient-script and
the part of dhclient-script that calls the undocumented
dhclient-exit-hooks.
It might be handy to have the external IP assigned to a hostname - not
only for pf.

Hi Roger,
I wrote a blog post about automatically configuring /etc/hosts with a
DHCP dynamic IP address earlier this year:
http://blog.sourcehosting.net/tag/dhcp/. You can download a ZIP file
with the dhclient-exit-hook script in it near the bottom of the page.
In my case, I also wrote some commands to update the Apache httpd.conf
file with the correct ServerName directive. You can easily remove that
from the script if you don't need it.
If you need any assistance, let me know.
Regards,
Greg
