MySQL will be happy if it can work out what the hostname of the machine
is. You say you're using ddns? If that means your machines are pushing
a hostname up to the DHCP server while they ask it for an IP number, then=
there should be no problem.
You can simply set the hostname in /etc/rc.conf -- it doesn't really
matter if the machine thinks its name is one thing, and the IPs on its
network interfaces resolve to something else (at least, not for the
purposes of running mysql.). The thing you'ld have to look out for are
the host part of usernames in grants of permissions to users. =20

You might also find it beneficial to use 'SYNCDHCP' instead of plain 'DHC=
P'
in ifconfig_XXY lines in /etc/rc.conf -- this will cause the boot process=
to
block on getting an IP for the interface, rather than the default action =
of
backgrounding that process and trying to start everything else up.
Cheers,
Matthew
