Hi Miro,
A good shot, but it didn't seem to do anything usefull.
dhclient.leases did not change (no nost-name in the file).
The DNS lookup still shows an invalid name.
I do have ifconfig_Xl0="DHCP" in /etc/rc.conf before I
started this.
Do you have a dhclient_conf file that you would like me to try?
