If you go back and read the original post that kicked off this thread, the entire issue was that I thought that the absence of resolvconf was sufficient to create an arrangement where the nameservers weren't populated from DHCP. In my case I am running my own bind on the machine in question (to provide DNS for my LAN), which is also the firewall/router for my network. So, there is an interface with a static address connected to the LAN and another that is configured by DHCP from the ISP equipment. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez
