I finally solved this. First, I ran resolvconf -l to list the interfaces it knew about. Then I added this line, based upon the interfaces in the above list, to resolvconf.conf: interface_order="fxp0:slaac fxp0" That puts the interface configured via rtadv before the interface configured via dchp, resulting in the IPv6 nameserver coming before the IPv4 nameservers in resolv.conf. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
