The NIC hostname file contains: dhcp
and it configures the nic with a DHCP address and configure mygate according to this. Now I need to add an additional static IP on top of this and use the static IP address gateway address (thus not configuring myname from DHCP) Can I just add inet x.x.x.x b.b.b.b to myname so that it reads: dhcp inet x.x.x.x b.b.b.b and if so, how do I make sure that mygate does not get overwritten from dhcp?
