Here's something odd ... this works (mostly) fine for me.
I did have to resort to the (ugly) /etc/start_if.wi0 script rather
than keeping everything in /etc/rc.conf, but hey ....
Actually, even the simple dhclient.conf files have forced me to look at other
ways of doing things. Some of them, such as DDNS from the DHCP server, have
turned out to be more elegant and secure than manually configuring
dhclient.conf on every machine. Certainly, having the dhclient process for a
particular card commit suicide when someone pops out the NIC rather than
sitting there sulking is a bonus, too.
The thing I found with DDNS was getting the darn client to return the
correct hostname. For some reason, without setting it in
dhclient.conf, the DNS would not update, even if I have configured
the DHCP server to do the updates.
Cheers,
Rob
