Your question isn't very clear, but if you want to configure FreeBSD  
to use a nameserver on your router (or elsewhere), set up /etc/ 
resolv.conf.  Otherwise, FreeBSD will issue ARP queries to locate  
other machines on the local subnet.  Normally, the machine itself  
will reply, but it's certainly possible for other devices to publish  
that info (via proxy-arping; see "man arp").
