Here's something odd ... this works (mostly) fine for me. I did have to resort to the (ugly) /etc/start_if.wi0 script rather than keeping everything in /etc/rc.conf, but hey .... >Actually, even the simple dhclient.conf files have forced me to look at other >ways of doing things.

The thing I found with DDNS was getting the darn client to return the correct hostname. For some reason, without setting it in dhclient.conf, the DNS would not update, even if I have configured the DHCP server to do the updates. Cheers, Rob
