Most BSD networks do not have dynamic DNS updating enabled on their nameservers, but that is the capability you seem to be asking about. If your network does have this enabled, it's possible that using dhclient to release and renew a DHCP lease on the BSD machine would be the right approach. Otherwise, change the zone file on the primary DNS server directly by hand. -- -Chuck
