Assigning static ip address

[Nikolaj Thygesen]

Hi list,

    I've been experimenting and googling for hours w/ no luck. All I 
want to do is run dhcp and then replace the ip address of the interface 
with a new static ip afterwards. I've been looking at the 
/etc/dhclient.conf man pages, but they don't seem to help. I can do it 
from rc.conf like:

    ifconfig_em0="inet 1.2.3.4"

but then I loose all the other dhcp parameters like dns and stuff. Is it 
really that hard???

    thanks - Nikolaj
