I'm currently running FreeBSD 5.3 on my Sony Vaio and I use the laptop 
in two different work environments. My home office uses DHCP to assign 
the ip address, default router, and name servers. My work office uses a 
company issued static ip address,  company default router, and company 
name servers. Has anyone already done this and documented it somewhere? 
If not, should I try to solve it in dhclient, or should I just write 
some custom scripting to add to the rc startup scripts? Any 
recommendations would be most appreciated.

Cheers,

Robert
