So, I still want to automate the resolv.conf overwrite.
I have gotten around this by changing the DNS server on the router to use openDNS. When you are using some other DHCP you can append or prepend stuff to this and still use their local (possibly caching) dns servers. Depending on which distro you have, it will be something like /etc/dhcpc.conf or /etc/dhclient.conf or on my centos 5 box /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf using append domain-name " domain1.com domain2.com "; The spaces are important. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
