Hi,
If you've done something like
host hostname {
hardware ethernet 00:01:0a:12:13:33;
fixed-address 192.168.0.10;
}
in your dhcpd.conf, you can leave the FreeBSD box at it's DHCP settings, e.g.
ifconfig_ed1="DHCP" in your /etc/rc.conf, it query the dhcpd server and it
will give back the information (you can check it with tcpdump if you like, look
for a line like A:192.168.0.10, G:your.gateway.address ...)
