PPP normally provides the dns server addresses itself, in which case the suggestion to remove enable dns from ppp.conf is correct. Well, as always, YMMV. If the connection is providing a dynamic address via dhcp, as my ADSL provider is, it appears to be dhclient that's updating resolv.conf so the setup as stated works for me. I have 'enable dns' in my ppp.conf file as well but my provider doesn't seem to be able to offer a dns server address correctly, which is why I run one locally on the network.

If DHCP is setting it, then use the prepend or supersede keywords on domain-name-servers in your dhclient.conf(5). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You could make resolv.conf to what you want it to be and then do: chflags schg /etc/resolv.conf That will stop anything from modifying it, if you're in securelevel 1 or more you can't take schg off, you need to reboot into securelevel 0.
