X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 20:05:01 -0000 I'm simply going to change 2 "nameserver" ip-addresses. Most of what I've found re. 'resolv.conf' implies it can just be changed on-the-fly. However, other sources (mostly upgrading info) have a reboot involved. So -- re-boot or not? (Note: this is a static-ip box running v5.4.) Thanks!
