Here's something odd ... this works (mostly) fine for me.

I did have to resort to the (ugly) /etc/start_if.wi0 script rather 
than keeping everything in /etc/rc.conf, but hey ....

The thing I found with DDNS was getting the darn client to return the 
correct hostname.  For some reason, without setting it in 
dhclient.conf, the DNS would not update, even if I have configured 
the DHCP server to do the updates.
