Hello,

I'm running 6.0-STABLE and having an issue with dhclient "ignoring"
dhclient.conf(5).

On this dual-homed host, I've created dhclient.conf in it's proper
location with the option modifiers I want.  However, everytime dhclient
negotiates a new lease, I get my ISP's values in resolv.conf(5) and not
my over-rides.

Here's the relevent part of rc.conf(5):

# grep ifconfig /etc/rc.conf
ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP"
ifconfig_xl0="inet 172.16.1.1  netmask 255.255.255.0"

and my dhclient.conf file:

# cat /etc/dhclient.conf
interface "fxp0" {
        supersede domain mydomain.com
        supersede domain-name-servers 172.16.1.17, 172.16.1.32;
}

and the last lease issued in /var/db/dhclient.leases.fxp0:

lease {
  interface "fxp0";
  fixed-address 10.0.0.100;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.252.0;
  option routers 10.0.0.1;
  option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.10;
  option domain-name "myisp.com";
  option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255;
  option dhcp-lease-time 59594;
  option dhcp-message-type 5;
  option dhcp-server-identifier 10.42.224.1;
  renew 4 2005/12/1 23:29:22;
  rebind 5 2005/12/2 05:41:49;
  expire 5 2005/12/2 07:45:59;
}

and lastly, what I see in /etc/resolv.conf:

# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search myisp.com
nameserver 10.0.0.10

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.  Googling provided no useful
information.

Doug
