Hi guys,

I Google'd this one but got absolutely no documentation on it what so 
ever which means either my search string was poor or this is poorly 
documented!

Basically what I would like to do is exactly what I do currently in 
Linux and that's to override the DNS server given by my pathetic current 
ADSL router by editing the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and changing this 
parameter: supersede domain-name-servers

I haven't managed to find anything similar in OpenSolaris so can anyone 
help me??

The reason I need to do this is that I statically input my DNS into 
/etc/resolv.conf which comes directly from my servers in the UK since 
the ISP here blocks certain sites via redirecting DNS queries a self 
contained root DNS resolver (which I also have in my notebook) or an 
external DNS resolver will also work in this situation.

The router I have currently is a really crappy consumer grade piece of 
garbage which I have tried to override the DNS servers given in the DHCP 
config, however it somehow manages to give itself (main gateway address) 
as the primary DNS server which is totally unlike my Cisco in the remote 
network.

I mean whenever the router sends a DHCP update I manage to loose my 
whole DNS config and then the sites I want to access such as YouTube 
etc... time out totally or redirect to the government site which the 
main ISP DNS servers have redirects to. Anyhow political BS aside I just 
need to figure out how to statically assign the DNS server IP as it 
drives me crazy having to change it every 2 seconds....

Can anyone assist??

Regards,

Kaya
