No, it's not a dhclient. I should have been more clear. I'm running DSL over PPPoE and get dynamic IP on a reboot/reconnect and it messes with the resolv.conf, but only part of it. Am running as caching nameserver, and have localhost IP line in the resolv.conf as per named.conf. So, my resolve looks like this: BEFORE REBOOT: domain mydomain.net search mydomain.net nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver xxx.xxx.xx.201 nameserver xxx.xxx.xx.201 AFTER REBOOT: domain mydomain.net search mydomain.net nameserver xxx.xxx.xx.201 nameserver xxx.xxx.xx.201 As shown, the localhost gets removed and stops using my localhost nameserver to first look for DNS in the local cache instead of outside. So, after reboot, I have to overwrite the resolv.conf and reload into memory to make it stop looking outside first for DNS. I think it's because of "dns enable" set in the ppp.conf. Can I comment that out of ppp and not upset anything else...??? That would probably leave the resolv file alone.
