I have never used dnsmasq but, can't you remove all the entries in your /etc/resolv.conf file replace them with 127.0.0.1 and then get dnsmasq to forward dns resuests to the servers that were in your /etc/resolv.conf. I do this with dnrd but it does not provide dhcp. John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
