This basically means you do not actually use DHCP for your
"client" machines (or better: for _your_ machines, be it
servers, desktop computers or firewalls); instead you have
to configure the components that would be DHCP's task on
a dynamic IP connection.
This is:
1. In /etc/rc.conf you need to configure the NIC(s) of your
system to the IPs you want them to have:
hostname="foo.example.com"
ifconfig_xl0="inet 123.456.789.10 netmask 0xffffff00"
ifconfig_xl1="inet 123.456.789.11 netmask 0xffffff00"
defaultrouter="123.456.777.100"
Maybe your ISP also defines a default router for you.
2. In /etc/resolv.conf, you have to define name servers if
you need them (or you run your own one). Typically the
ISP will tell you which NS _he_ offers.
search example.com
nameserver 123.456.700.100
3. You would also add entries to /etc/hosts reflecting your
host's settings:
123.456.789.10 foo.example.com foo
123.456.789.11 foo.example.com foo
All this implies that those settings are quite static. But for
a static IP that might be fully desired. :-)
