 The originators email seems to be fubared... DNS problems.
 
 Sorry to interject, but I've got something similar, though I think it may
 not be related to the reported problem....
 
 FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE-p4
 
 Two NICs. rl0 and xl0.
 
 relevant statements in /etc/rc.conf
 ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.0.254"
 ifconfig_xl0="DHCP"
 
 xl0 is always DHCP configured without problems, but rl0 is never configured
 at all. I haven't tried two non-DHCP configurations.... let me do that now.
 Okay, it works fine.
 
 To the originator : Try leaving all three NICs in, and doing non-DHCP
 configuration on them. I'm thinking that /etc/rc.network sees a DHCP option,
 processes it on perhaps only one NIC, and then stops processing interface
 configuration entirely.
