Thus spake Lowell Gilbert (freebsd-stable-local@be-well.ilk.org) [05/06/06 10:32]: : > I've often wondered why dhclient.conf doesn't have an 'ignore' directive. : > There's a 'require' in there; it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to : > 'ignore' something. : : Why not just write a simple script for one of the hooks that : dhclient-script(8) supports? I'd looked at this before (a few months back), and deemed it insufficient for the job. However, upon your re-suggestion, I can't see why it /won't/ work. It should also be able to figure out which wired LAN the machine is connected to, and assign the appropriate DNS servers. So this /may/ actually address my problem. (Goodness knows why I originally dismissed it.) However, this ignores my original question: why is there no 'ignore' directive in dhclient.conf? It seems like a potentially incredibly useful thing, and I run across posts from people who could greatly benefit from this every couple of months. - Damian
