LINUX: For a Linux host with name x.y.z.com I had to do the following: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D # echo "DHCP_HOSTNAME=3Dx;" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 # echo "PEERDNS=3Dno" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 # echo "SEARCH=3D\" y.z.com" >> /etc/sysconfig/network # echo "HOSTNAME=3Dx.y.z.com" >> /etc/sysconfig/network # reboot SEARCH: Couldnt find for host configuration =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D My Google search gave some links describing Linux host configuration but none for freebsd host configuration. Some described FreeBSD server configuration though ( http://www.google.com/search?hl=3Den&client=3Dfirefox-a&hs=3Dl2M&rls=3Dorg.= mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=3Dconfiguring+dynamic+dns+freebsd+dhcp+client&= oq=3Dconfiguring+dynamic+dns+freebsd+dhcp+client&aq=3Df&aqi=3D&aql=3D&gs_sm= =3De&gs_upl=3D13114l14889l0l15039l12l12l0l11l0l0l166l166l0.1l1l0, http://alex.kruijff.org/FreeBSD/Dynamic_DNS.html).
