Re: Question re dhclient.conf...Addenedum
Finding that the interfaces this is called on
do not necessarily come up on a timing (or at
all) I've modified the script called from
an /etc/hostname.if file or from openvpn
as an "up" script so it will wait on the interface
coming up (and could be timedout there if..) ...
#!/bin/ksh
# called from /etc/hostname.IF, eg. # : hostname.reo

If it's reasonable from other perspectives I think it would be good to reinclude the external command option in dhclient.conf. Otherwise monitoring the dhcp lease with the -L flag I had not thought of but does provide the necessary trigger to update dns. Thanks, Dhu -- Ne obliviscaris, vix ea nostra voco.

There's a (fairly early) libinotify port using a kqueue backend, no idea if there's anything that can use it in Perl. But, for BSDs, IO::KQueue is probably a better idea.

I use entr (in ports) to monitor a file written by dhclient -L which I use as a trigger, I then parse that same file to pick up the relevant information from the new lease and handle it appropriately. There were some changes to dhclient needed for this to work nicely (for example, to avoid inode number changes), IIRC these went in post-5.5.

This works in the case that you don't control the DHCP server
and need to rely on some public/stock configuration.

Re: Question re dhclient.conf
My purpose here is to allow dynamic dns updates
via nsupdate from a dhcp clients where addresses
are subject to change. I have a solution that
will remain stable so long as the !command
hook in hostname.if remains stable. This is
not as good as the dhclient.conf script interface
as it can't exclude calls that don't change
the interface, but hey...

Question re dhclient.conf
/etc/dhclient.conf used to contain a script "tosomfile" ; option that could, amongst other things, be used to set a dynamic assigned dns address to a named server. This functionality has been removed and I am trying to figure out if there was some other mechanism to accomplish this but I can't find any refs to it in the changes between 5.1 and 5.5. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Dhu -- Ne obliviscaris, vix ea nostra voco.
