Is it possible that my ISP is diddling with my /etc/resolv.conf when my
fixed-address, dhcp lease is re-negotiated?

I am running DCD, dhclient, dnscache and tinydns-private on my local
firewall.  When the system boots -- as I just did 2 minutes ago --
resolv.conf shows this:

        search  private.network

Sometime in the last several hours, something changed this to:

        search  attbi.com

This has happened several times in the last couple weeks; but, not so
frequently that I've got all of the evidence inline.  Obviously, scripts
that refer to hosts by short name (cat /etc/hostname) no longer resolve
like this ;<

The only thing I can figure -- since I didn't change resolv.conf -- is
that the lease expired and during re-negotiation, dhclient rewrote the
search line ?!?!

What do you think?

Dare to fix things before they break . . .

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
think we know.  The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
