DHCP and mtu size in rc.conf

Is it possible to set an interface to use both DHCP and a custom MTU size by setting the value in rc.conf?

I tried using the line "eth0="dhcp mtu 9000", but that did not work.

Re: DHCP and mtu size in rc.conf

There is a hackish way to do it:

eth0="dhcp"
eth0mtu="eth0 mtu 1234"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth0mtu)

It is important that eth0mtu is after eth0 in INTERFACES.
