To use my fixed address methods, which are officialy discouraged by the list police...

And what, exactly, pray tell, do those august personages ("the list police") preach? Something tells me that what you jocularly term "my fixed address methods" are the exact ones I have been using since lo those many aeons ago when I sat down to read a hardcopy printout of the ifconfig man page.

you will need to edit /etc/resolv.conf after nuking the softlink that it is and creating a real file, saying "order hosts,dns" on the first line, and the address of the local dns resolver as "nameserver" on the next line.

Ditto above. Been doing it that way for aeons. Is there a new way? Changing resolv.conf to a softlink merits harsh punishment. Where's my PPK?

AND, I am going to have to make sure that my next $100 Staples refurb box boots one of the *bsd's! This is incredible!
