You need to understand the difference between dhcpd and dhcpcd. dhcpd is the server that provides network configuration information to other clients out on the network. dhcpcd is the client part that requests that configuration info from the server. If the other machines on your internal network have static IP addresses, then you don't need to be running dhcpd. However, you probably do want to run dhcpcd on your gateway machine because it gets the network config info from your ISP. You can tell dhclient to get the IP address and gateway info, but to ignore what the server tells it to do for the DNS server. Look at the man pages for dhclient-script. If you create an executable script called /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks and in there define the function 'make_resolv_conf()', you can override how your /etc/resolv.conf gets handled. I have one on a FC3 machine at home. I can't get to it at the moment, but from memory I believe that you can do something like this in dhclient-enter-hooks: ===================================8<--------------------------------- #!/bin/bash make_resolv_conf() { cat > /etc/resolv.conf <<EOF search mydomain.net nameserver 192.168.52.1 EOF } ===================================8<--------------------------------- Of course, you could also just define make_resolv_conf() as an empty function and it will just leave the current /etc/resolv.conf alone. /dwight -- Dwight N.
