My server isengard runs dnsmasq to provide the dhcp clients. However it

recognise any internal network domain name:

isengard:~# nslookup gondor
Server: 194.74.65.69
Address: 194.74.65.69#53
** server can't find gondor: NXDOMAIN
I worked out the domain name should go into /etc/resolv.conf (
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/NET3-4-HOWTO-5.html ) but then it seems that
this
is
under the control of something else.
The domain name should go into /etc/resolv.conf
You also have to assign the first nameserver to be _your_ nameserver and not
your ISP's.
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search isengard.net
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver ...
nameserver ...
Something is rewriting my resolv.conf at least every minute. I suspected it must
be dnsmasq attempting to do the DNS but I just stopped dnsmasq, and yet
resolv.conf is still being updated. I had a look over my ps output but dont see
anything that could be controlling resolv.conf.
This is the only entry in it:
nameserver 194.74.65.69
which is the British Telecom DNS.
Thanks
Adam
