I have NetBSD 1.5.2 running on a Quadra 800 doing my cable modem routing for
now and I have a few problems.

I have Charter Pipeline and I know each ip has it's own dns name
xxxupxxx.chartermi.net, where the xxx are 3 numbers.  I'd like my machine to
pick up this dns name for itself.  Instead, when I look at the
dhclient.leases files, what I see is

Option host-name "up.chartermi.net"
Option domain-name "up.chartermi.net"

I know if my machine picks up a different ip during the dhclient request,
the dns changes accordingly.

My second question, which I think is connected to the first is when I go to
do the "sup -s -v", after the setup for it from the how-to's, is I get an
error message of

SUP: Can't find my host entry 'up.chartermi.net'

And then sup stops.

Any suggestions?
