Hello list!

for some wireless access points, I want to get an IP via DHCP but not
use the provided DNS-server (I use an openvpn setup with its own DNS
server, domain name, etc.).

In /usr/share/doc/openrc-0.8.2-r1/net.example it reads:
# Setting name/domain server causes /etc/resolv.conf to be overwritten
# Note that if DHCP is used, and you want this to take precedence then
# please put -R in your dhcpcd options

But dhcpcd does not seem to have a -R option. It does have a --static
option, though. While this is good enough for simply setting the DNS
server, it does not seem to allow specifying domain names or
search-domains (at least it is not shown in the man-page).

Please tell me what the proper way is and whether the mention of "-R" is
a documentation bug.

Thanks in advance,
Florian Philipp
from the man page, this seems to do  what you want
(never tried, i use dhclient and its /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf):

     -C, --nohook script
             Don't run this hook script.  Matches full name, or prefixed with 2 
numbers optionally ending with .sh.

             So to stop dhcpcd from touching your DNS or MTU settings you would 
do:-
                   dhcpcd -C resolv.conf -C mtu eth0

I use the google dns servers so I created a /etc/resolv.conf file and
set the i attribute on it:

chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

that way it can't be removed or overwritten and you won't have that
problem no matter what dhcp client you are using



Does this still work?

config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_eth0="nodns"
dns_servers_eth0="8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"

This worked before the openrc update but I guess it still does. Someone speak up if it doesn't.

Hope that helps.
