Its not clear what you are asking here. Is your machine set up as a dhcp server that provides the IP of dns servers, and you want to add a dns server to this list? OR Are you simply asking how to add a secondary DNS server address to your server's /etc/resolv.conf ? If the former, you can add a second name server ip to your dhcp configuration. If the latter you can hard code your resolv.conf and take the risk that your upstream will not change them without warning. In either case, the secondary name server is only used after the first times out. (fails). It won't check the second one if the first says it can't resolve the name. So its less useful than it seems at first. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
