I'm not sure that Openresolv is necessarily the right thing to use.
This is how you would override the resolvers handed out to you by a DHCP
server using dhclient. Edit the file /etc/dhclient.conf and add lines
like so:
interface em0 {
supersede domain-name-serves 192.0.2.1, 192.0.2.2;
}
Obviously, substitute the correct interface name and the IP numbers of
your own DNS servers. There's also 'prepend' instead of 'supersede,'
which allows you to stick your nameservers in as the preferred choice,
but still keep the original ones as a fallback. See dhclient.conf(5).
This assumes you've only got the one ethernet interface being configured
by DHCP, and that you always want to use your own nameservers
irrespective of what network you're connecting to.
Cheers,
Matthew

Re: Openresolv Config
Hi Matthew,
Thank you so much for your quick reply.
How Can I override using openresolv/resolvconf or configuring it for static
IP on a server ?
Currently my servers are configured with DHCP by the webhost company.
I prefer to have them configured with static IP but right now I'm stuck on
the openresolv problem.
Do you know where can I find a openresolv howto for FreeBSD-9 please.
Best Regards

Best Regards You can set up a local DNS server using named. This is what I do for my mail server. I do use NetBSD on that machine though but the set up won't much different. You would need to configure your router to always assign the same ip to your machine and configure your network interface to use that ip, possibly within /etc/rc.conf. That way the dhclient won't override the entries you put in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf when it boots-up. That might be a solution to your problem, perhaps others could confirm that for sure.
