Unable to get hostname through DHCP

Hi,

  I have installed FreeBSD in a machine over an NFS. I have enabled the
DHCP options, for my server to assign an IP and a hostname to this m/c.
While this machine picks up the IP address, it doesnt seem to catch
the hostname supplied by the DNS. I have disabled the hostname field in
/etc/rc.conf.

Could you please help me out with this.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Hari
