Sounds like OpenWRT, where /etc/resolv.conf and /tmp/resolv.conf are actually the same file (symlinked) by default. Note that there's a dnsmasq configuration option to have it look at a file other than /etc/resolv.conf ... surely no dhcp client is going to tamper with a file named /etc/resolv.dnsmasq for instance. > > ________________________________ > See how Windows Mobile brings your life together—at home, work, or on the > go.
