Yes, my ISP's DHCP server should assign me a hostname. I assumed that's
how it was done by dhclient on RedHat7.3/8/9 all of which just did this
automatically whenever I selected DHCP configuration of the interface.
I've been comparing FreeBSD 5.1's default dhclient-script to RedHat's
trying to discern if that's where the difference is, or if there's just
a subtle bug in the version of dhclient included with FreeBSD 5.1

I want to use dynamic hostname assignment so that my hostname will have
valid reverse DNS.
