That's just where I added it. I should probably send a patch to
the FreeBSD folks. Generaly you don't need to edit rc.network.
I just wanted dhcpd to start at boot up and felt that it was
important enough to integrate this way rather than use the more
"conventional" /usr/local/etc/rc.d technique.
Personaly I think that the /usr/local/etc/rc.d technique adds
complexity without benifit. SYSVR4 is full of these kinds of
"features". I'd realy prefer something much simpler even than
this. Such as having the rc script check for the existance of the
/etc/dhcpd.conf file. But the technique that I used is more inline with
the direction of current changes to the FreeBSD boot system.

| Is "de0" referring to your internal or external network adapter (nic)?

De0 is the name for the ethernet interface on the inside.
Again reading the manual pages is a great way to learn this stuff.
have fun
