I am no expert with broadband on FreeBSD, but the following may help. User ppp has an option called "enable dns". This line just tells the ppp daemon to update the resolv.conf file. All I have to do is rem this line out. Take a look for this line in your config of ppp. If you run your own DNS server the only thing in this file should be nameserver your-domain.com nameserver 127.0.0.1 The dns server will do lookups regardless of the contents of this file. And I do not completly undestand your situation. But I hope that the "enable dns" line being commented out helps. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Carolyn > Longfoot > Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 07:03 PM > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: DNS/DHCP Irritation > > > > Now that I have my own DNS server running I noticed an annoying > issue: I get > my static IP from the DHCP server that's built into the DSL > gatway.
