Judging from this, you have a hostname set in /etc/rc.conf on freebsd 7 client 
and/or dhcpd isn't configured to send one as it receives one from the client 
and perhaps you have dynamic DNS configured?

If that's not the case, then you should add some debugging to /sbin/dhclient-
script in the check_hostname function.
