dhclient.conf or DHCP

Hey folks,
I have my freebsd DHCP server set up and working great. Well great for
Windows clients, but not much so for BSD clients.
Under the Windows clients I just set the host name and when the DHCP
gets a request it dutifully does the job of assigning an IP address as
well as putting in the proper DNS entries. I have tried the same for
another BSD computer and it gets the IP address just fine but the
request doesn't get passed on to DNS for updating.
I tried the dhclient.conf being blank and then also tried putting in
entries as suggested by man 5 dhclient.
Any ideas on getting BSD to have the same behavior as Windows?
This is what I have for dhcpd.conf
option domain-name "squeaks.net";
option domain-name-servers msmouse.squeaks.net,204.127.198.4;
server-name "msmouse";
server-identifier 192.168.100.250;
key rndc-key {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "wouldn't you like to know";
};
zone squeaks.net. {
primary 192.168.100.250;
key rndc-key;
}
zone 100.168.192.in-addr.arpa. {
primary 192.168.100.250;
key rndc-key;
}
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

# This is a very basic subnet declaration.
subnet 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.99;
next-server 192.168.100.250;
option routers 192.168.100.105;
use-host-decl-names on;
}
dhclient.conf is...
interface "ed0" {
send host-name "pixie.squeaks.net";
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
script "/sbin/dhclient-script";
require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
}
