In Linux it writes the DNS info to /etc/resolv.conf:
domain blah.com
nameserver 2.2.2.2
nameserver 2.3.3.2
etc...... I would imagine you could write a script that would start the
client dhcp up, attach to the cablemodem, get the info, you're now on the
network, then strip the needed info from resolv.conf (or bsd equiv) and
write it to the dhcpd.conf file.
To bad you cannot specify the dhcp server to pass part of the dhcp
requests 'upstream'. ie:
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
range 10.0.0.210 10.0.0.250;
option domain-name-servers pass-dhcp-request-out-eth0
option domain-name pass-dhcp-request-out-eth0
}
or something nifty like that. Anyone wanna write a new rfc? ;)
