The default route (lan to inet router) for lan machines does get its config from the internet dhcp server of my ISP. So by aiming local lan machines at the router as default route and for dns lookups in /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.0.20 The local lan machines are accessing the ISP nameservers thru my local lan router. But the addressing for the local machines is static (always the same). At least that is my aim. On my two osol machines I have been faking it by setting the lan router to serve specific dhcp addresses to specific MAC address on the local machines, thru its dhcp service. So (in effect) I have a static number I know will be the address for each of the two machines. That seemed like kind of a confusing way to arrive at static IP numbers so I decided to change over to real static addressing. Like the other 5 lan machines use. So far it seems to work to set something in /etc/nwam/llp like: rge0 static 192.168.0.29 And since as you've pointed out... server sees static and sees no need to add `dns' to /etc/nsswitch.conf So I made sure (after help from this list) to add `dns' to hosts: files dns in /etc/nsswitch.conf Now with those two things and any needed adjustments to /etc/hosts, it appears to be working through reboots and shutdowns. So is it likely something will overwrite /etc/nsswitch.conf or /etc/nwam/llp? And remove my edits? _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
