 Problem is that resolv.conf is always overwritten. Using

 the end of the dhcp supplied information.

 How can I prevent the overwriting of resolv.conf?


First I tried the advice on

No matter how you start the DHCP client, you can edit the
/etc/dhclient.conf file to not update your DNS according to the dhcp
server's idea of DNS by first uncommenting the 'request' lines in it
(they are examples of the default settings, but you need to uncomment
them to override dhclient's defaults.)

request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
  domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name, lpr-servers, ntp-servers;

and then remove domain-name-servers. Of course, you may want to remove
hostname, or other settings too.

Thant didn't work for me :-(

Now My /etc/dhclient.conf looks like this


initial-interval 1;
send host-name caleb;
request subnet-mask,
broadcast-address,
routers,
domain-name,
supersede domain-name-servers 172.17.1.10;

Now this works for me.

Hope This helps

Kind Regards

These two lines worked fine here:
---
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers;
supersede domain-name-servers 192.168.107.2;

Look at prepend, and supersede directives.
