Ya, that was kind of a weak description. Basically, I have a gateway that NATs/Filters my cable connection. The gateway gets a public IP and receives DNSs through DHCP. It also serves DHCP on the LAN; in those DHCPd options, I pass along DNS servers to the LAN. I'd like to dynamically get the DNSs received from my ISP into my dhcpd.conf. This would account for DNS server changes, and for varying numbers of DNS servers. I did consider using names instead, but that still wouldn't prove fail-safe because the names could change, or the server could be taken down all together. All in all, don't waste too much brain power on it, it something that would be nice, not crucial.
