/etc/dhclient-enter-hooks needs to be created in any case if you wish to use named else it will write an /etc/resolv.conf containing the values given by the DHCP server. Something like this is all it takes to keep it from changing your resolv.conf: #!/bin/sh make_resolv_conf() { } Naturally, one could expand my null'ed make_resolv_conf() to 1) verify DNS servers have changed, and 2) write them in /etc/namedb/named.conf, then 3) "ndc restart" My ISP has done something in the past year or so that dhclient thinks each and every lease renewal is practically a new lease. /etc/resolv.conf gets (actually, only "attempted" now) written on each renewal. /var/log/messages gets flooded with this: Mar 8 21:14:29 grumpy dhclient: New Network Number: 24.214.34.0 Mar 8 21:14:29 grumpy dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 24.214.34.255 -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
