Or, if you don't feel like editing your dhclient.conf, in your /etc/resolv.conf the first line usually reads: search thisdomain.com nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy If you change the first line to read: domain thisdomain.com nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy If you change the word search to domain, when the link comes up, dhclient will not search for upstream domain servers and it won't replace your hard-coded DNS server list -- Tim -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Luke Dean Sent: Friday, April 22, 2005 11:35 AM To: Fabian Anklam Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Prevent DHCP from changing resolv.conf > I have a minor problem regarding my network configuration, > specifically that the external interface on my router gets it's IP via > DHCP from the ISP, so in rc.conf > > ifconfig_xl0="DHCP" > > is set.
