Usually a freebsd machine will create a resolv.conf file from the DHCP option in the DHCP offer:
option domain-name-servers #.#.#.#, #.#.#.#;
1) make sure that the dns declaration in the dhcp lease is spelt correctly (i.e. is plural.)
Also you can test the dns server itself:
2) this will work if the dns server is working:
-> dnsquery -n #.#.#.# www.yahoo.com
#[replace #.#.#.# with the dns server given]
#also try dig ( dig(0) )
