Several ways - not necessarily mutually exclusive: (1) Get your own local domains into the global DNS ? If it is a domain you own, you can nominate yourself in the DNS. The upstream name servers will go back and ask your name servers and things "should just work". (2) In /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf add: prepend name-servers 1.2.3.4; or similar. (3) Install the "resolvconf" package and update /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head - this file is the top "fragment" of the (now generated) /etc/resolv.conf file There may be other ways I cannot think of off the top of my head Hope this helps -- Karl E.
