I'm having a difficulty seeing the point. A similar situation happens if the user has manually configured a few nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf and then runs either DHCPv4 / DHCPv6. Is it IETF's business to specify whether or not (and if so, how) the entries should be overwritten, prepended/appended, etc. ? Is this done now with DHCPv4? I'm not so sure, but something like "DNS servers configured through this option should take precedence if some existed beforehand" would be acceptable to me Note *no* RFC2119 upper-case keywords. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
