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
