I am trying to make a FreeBSD machine that gets a dynamic ip from a
pfsense box work the same way as a Windows machine does.
After reading way more about isc-dhcpd than I wanted to, I found out
that I can customize /etc/dhclient.conf (great). I found a great
dhclient.conf but it seemed to do things that I could not get my FreeBSD
box(es) to do.
So I found out that this config file actually came from a linux box
(some ubuntu version) and that it runs a dhclient-script which I then
found out that FreeBSD also has..
So I'm closer but not there yet and can not seem to figure out what I am
missing.
This is my /etc/dhclient.conf :
send host-name "$HOSTNAME";
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name,
netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope;
timeout 30;
script "/sbin/dhclient-script";
the dhclient-script is the stock one (6.2-p5) the linux one had the
host-name set to "<hostname>" after looking at the dhclient-script it
looks like I need to use $HOSTNAME.
Except when I change the hostname of the box (via hostname -s
blahblah.local.domain) and then run dig against the dns server, the name
blahblah did not register.

00:b0:d0:a1:8f:17 ($HOSTNAME) via dc0
Jun 11 09:47:13 pfsense dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.1.13 from
00:b0:d0:a1:8f:17 ($HOSTNAME) via dc0
So what am I doing wrong, can I get what I am looking for?
