None of this actually helps us diagnose or fix any problem with re(4) or
dhcpcd(8) you have encountered.

Steps to help:

  *  Add the debug directive to /etc/dhcpcd.conf, or set it in
     /etc/rc.conf as dhcpcd_flags="-qdM"

  *  Set dhcpcd to log it it's own file if it's a boot up issue
     (as it starts before syslog). Put this in /etc/dhcpcd.conf:
     logfile /var/log/dhcpcd.log
     Then attach this log in a reply

  *  Post the output of these command after running dhcpcd
     dhcpcd -U4 re0
     ifconfig re0
     netstat -nrf inet
     If you can, tell us how this output is wrong vs your expectations.

Thanks
