yeah, i use the same for Roger@Home in Toronto, Canada...
we need to send the "client identifier" code (hostname) they give us to
receive an IP
interface "ed0" {
supersede domain-name "home.domain.com";
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
supersede host-name "gateway";
send dhcp-client-identifier "crXXXXXX-a";
}
