I think, if you read the dhcpcd docs, that you can set some stuff in /etc/dhcpc to get custom stuff in /etc/resolv.conf. Try tweaking /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf (while the interface is down) and then bring it back up and see what happens. ... | I don't particularly like hacking on startup scripts installed by Debian | packages -- it'll come time to upgrade, the package installer will complain, | and I'll have forgotten what I did to get it to work. This isn't so much of a problem because apt lets you see a diff of the two files. This is essential to remembering what you did :-). HTH, -D
