[-- Attachment #1 --] What is the best solution to the following scenario? I have a FreeBSD 4.1.1 box acting as a gateway/natd combo for my internal net using dual NICS. The external NIC is connected to a cable modem and receives the interface configuration parameters via DHCP (dhcpclient). The internal NIC has dhcdp bound to it to serve addresses to my internal network. dhcpd requires that you place the domain-name-servers in the dhcpd.conf file in order to pass them to the client computers on the internal net but my ISP changes the domain name serverıs IPs periodically. The ISP dns IP changes are updated in resolv.conf by dhclient but they are not inherited by dhcpd due to the ³hardwired² domain-name-servers option in dhcpd.conf. Is there an easy solution to propagating the DNS IP change to my internal network?
