But if one /etc/resolv.conf dns points to what is served by one side, and another points to a DNS for the other side, then name resolution, regardless of the source, still works. The only conflict I see is if you have a different ip address for a host depending upon which nic you use - i.e. yahoo.com resolves to one address on the dhcp'd line, but a different address when resolved across the static line. Then you have issues. If the OP's problem was strictly the overwrite of /etc/resolv.conf by the dhcp app, he could disable the auto-overwrite of /etc/resolv.conf and use the scripting capabilities to massage the /etc/resolv.conf to include one or more of the dns servers provided by the dhcp process. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
