Okay, I figured out a solution reading the DNSMASQ docs (I'm using DNSMASQ with messy DHCP). I forgot exactly everything I did, but I'm pretty sure this is it (sorry to take so long to respond):
First I modified the dnsmasq config, note the change below: # Change this line if you want dns to get its upstream servers from # somewhere other that /etc/resolv.conf #resolv-file= resolv-file=/etc/resolv.dnsmasq Then... - Early in the bootup process, after I get my IP via DHCP (cable modem) I rename resolv.conf (with DHCP updates) to resolv.dnsmasq via a startup script - Then I do an echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" > /etc/resolv.conf (same script) That's it. No more delay, no host file maintenance for every possible client. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
