Here is my configuration:

	bash-2.04$ grep dhcl /etc/rc.conf
	dhclient=YES
	dhclient_flags="-q ep0"

	bash-2.04$ cat /etc/dhclient.conf
	send host-name "c666666-a.ccccccc.oo.home.com";
	send dhcp-client-identifier "c666666-a";
	request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name-servers;
	timeout 30;
	retry 60;
	select-timeout 5;
	script "/etc/dhclient-script";

You may (or may not) want to comment out the body of make_resolv_conf() in
/etc/dhclient-script

ps. i know my ip is not secret :)
