By all means, if you want to have even the slightest control over dhcp do not use pump! (It still doesn't work for me in all machines with 2 NICs...) I love dhcp-client, which had some serious bugs fixed in the *woody* version. You can override the function that modifies /etc/resolv.conf correctly now. :) dhcpd should be fine, too, but I don't really know much about it. Christian
