Many thanks Riz,
for the response.... :-)
At least you tried to help which I am very grateful for!
This does seem a bit of an iffy way of doing things and a manual or hard
override would be better in this case.
In nsswitch.conf dhcp has managed to hi-jack these lines:
#hosts: files # Commented out by DHCP
hosts: files dns # Added by DHCP
#ipnodes: files # Commented out by DHCP
ipnodes: files dns # Added by DHCP
so am wondering what the significance of setting them back to their
original values would be???
I mean what does adding the dns value do within the sys config?

Kaya

Kaya,
ignore my other previous message as I didnt see this message. If you
cannot find a real solution, another thing to try is;
- create the /etc/resolv.conf-dummy
- run cron every time to copy it over to the current resolv.conf.
you can also setup a script to check the condition of the resolv.conf
file if has changed and just perform the copy over if it changed.
If you do figure out the answer, I would also like to know...
Thanks,

Subject: [osol-help] Overriding DNS servers given by DHCP in
OpenSolaris??
To: opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
Date: Friday, January 29, 2010, 12:16 PM
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
