We are going to be getting Comcast cable in our area, finally. Been dial-up for the last 3 yrs and still no dsl. Right now the Gentoo sever acts as the (Shorewall) firewall and routing gateway for the other internal pc's natting their connection to share the dial-up line. Hooky I know, but it works. :P
My Gentoo linux firewall/server will be directly connected to the cable modem on eth0 using dhcp to get an address from Comcast. Eth1 connects the rest of the internal lan (3 pc's) which point to eth1 for their default gateway and inturn the Gentoo server will route/NAT their outbound connections. Given the above I also run djbdns dns-caching server which all clients point their dns settings to (eth1: 192.168.1.1 specifically). Dnscache does the lookups on behalf of the clients and caches and returns their dns requests. As well, the Gentoo server uses 192.168.1.1 in /etc/resolv.conf using dnscache to fullfill any dns requests originating from the Gentoo server its self. When eth0 gets its dhcp info from comcast it will undoubtedly make entries in /etc/resolv.conf with the dns servers that comcast wants me to use over-riding the manual/static (don't know if I'm saying that correctly) entry that I currently use. Is there 'any" way for me to tell the dhcp client to not use, or say, discard the dns server ip's/info that is given to me or to somehow tell /etc/resolv.conf to only use "nameserver 192.168.1.1" ??
