[gentoo-user] resolv.conf question

[gentoo-user] resolv.conf question

[Matthew R. Lee]

Every time I boot my resolv.conf reverts to the original file with no name 
servers in it.  Because I use my laptop in various places I have a series of 
resolv.conf files (resolv.conf.xx1, resolv.conf.xx2, etc)  When I use a 
different network I just cp /etc/resolv.conf.xx1 /etc/resolv.conf  Now I'm 
having to do this every morning after boot even though I'm on the same 
network.  Why does it keep reverting to this old file?  How do I stop it?  
I've looked in the directory /etc/ but I cant see any file like 
resolv.conf.old or resolv.conf.tmp  Where is it getting this empty file from?

Do you have 'dhcp_eth0="nodns" ' in your /etc/conf.d/net file? This problem 
came up recently with someone else, can't confirm whether it was the nodns 
option or a different one (possibly "notcp", which I can't find documented) 
but after removing that line his problem went away.

No that's not the problem.  I've written my own net file as I have to have the 
ip's etc for the diffrent networks I use.  The line you mention is not 
included.

i had the similar problem. actually every time the system is booted
'dhcp' overwrites dnsinfo in /etc/resolv.conf.

i added,

dns_servers_eth0=( "144.16.192.55" "10.128.2.2" )

to my /etc/conf.d/net, where the ips are dns for my network, and it
worked for me. now everytime i reboot resolv.conf is written with these
values.
