The COAS tool is broken in my Col 3.1.1 so that is the reason why I used webmin. Next time I would try to use route or ifconfig. My main doubt was which system scripts have to be run after setting the changes so the system can notice them.

Anyone got current documentation stating differently? From the resolver(5) man page: The domain and search keywords are mutually exclusive. If more than one instance of these keywords is present, the last instance wins. I'd forgotten that the last keyword wins.
