Hi all.
I'm totally new to FreeBSD, I tried FreeBSD 8.0 (stable version). I want to try FreeBSD as a DHCP server on a VLAN'ed network. I don't have problems on the installation.
I read somewhere that I have to confgure rc.conf for my network settings and resolv.conf for the DNS. Our network is behind a firewall and if I want unrestricted Internet connection I make the firewall as a gateway and set an ip to connect to the net.
I tried this in my rc.conf:
and my resolv.conf
This is what I do on windows boxes when I update them manually, but on FreeBSD, I'm unsuccessful. What did I miss?
Thank you in advance.

hostname=" server name"
defaultrouter="gateway"
ifconfig_device="inet IP machine netmask 255.255.255.0"
and my resolv.conf
Code:
nslookup file bind
DNS Server = >public dns
