Nope, I want to keep global and local separate. Out global dns entries are hosted by our ISP dns servers. For this I need to point to our internal dns servers.

Multiple lines, single line space separated values, comma separated values? The man page does not explain either nor does Google help so far :-( Wil I just need to try? (a little later) Aha, the Debian wiki has a better sample https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#DHCP_Client_Configuration but... it is missing the trailing semi-colon on the line so it is not perfect either. I will need to test, and then update the wiki I think. > > (3) Install the "resolvconf" package and update > /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head - this file is the > top "fragment" of the (now generated) /etc/resolv.conf file I might try that if the dhclient.conf does not work Thanks for the help so far, now just that last little bit. ;-) Bonno Bloksma -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
