Any info would be appreciated.

I found it in the 5.3 changes..
"Removed dhclient-script(8) and dhclient.conf(5) "script" directive.
Do all interface and route configuration via ioctl's and routing
sockets. "
Unfortunately this mechanism was used for more than just routing. And
without a dhclient-script to
hack I don't see how a dynamic address can be updated vi the named/key
mechanism.

If your goal is to set entries in DNS for a machine which acts as DHCP
client there are two other possibilities I know of:
1. Use a reservation in DHCP server together with fixed entries in DNS
2. Get ISC DHCP from ports and configure it to make dynamic updates to
BIND
Depending on your exact setup there may be other ways to achieve the
same as you did with the script.
