John, good day.

In the case of DHCP -- yes, I can. But sometimes I need to specify the static entries for the resolv.conf: I am using it when I am working in some places where DHCP isn't available, so I am creating branched /etc/rc.conf. And it is useful to have all variables in one place. For my usage, dhclient.conf is not relevant, since I am happily taking all that was given me via DHCP. > Updating named.conf to forward is a neat idea. > Howver, on my laptop on HEAD I've ended up just running nscd instead of a > local DNS server and doing a 'nscd -I hosts' when I get a new lease to flush > the host cache.

Yes, it is also the way to go, but, at was said by Poul-Henning, nscd is not so smart to know all particulars of DNS, namely -- the different TTL values for the different records and zones. May be I can integrate the usage of the nscd to the dhclient-script and rc.conf? Is it desirable? -- Eygene
