It is supposed to so your box can resolve ip host names. This information is sync'ed for use with dnscache. > I am running DCD, dhclient, dnscache and tinydns-private on my local > firewall.

I think your correct and it stays that way until dnscache and/or tiny-dns update themselves for the new lease. This isn't your ISP hacking your box if that is what your asking, this is normal operation. I go ahead and put my isp's domain name in the dns portion of network..conf, but you may have a conflict with this from what I am gathering from your post. You might make your problem/question a little more clear if this doesn't help you. -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
