I can think of a few ways to resolve this, but I thought to ask here. I have Comcast for my ISP, and of course DHCP changes /etc/resolv.conf during each update -- lately, they've been screwing things up bigtime, such that I simply use my own "named" instance. My question is: how to reliably keep your own nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf, and get around the frequent protocol updates that change/nullify your mods to /etc/resolv.conf. Perhaps just a regular script that does a diff and patch of it, or simply copies over the file you want regularly. Not elegant but it would work. I also wonder about creating a dhclient-exit script that would update certain services automatically when your IP changes. Thx.
