Because then it requires yet another network daemon, RA in the kernel means there's no need for one to manage adding auto-configured IP addresses... what's wrong with doing the same for DNS? I don't think it should be in resolv.conf format though. Can't you make a change to glibc too to have it use it properly? Something like "hosts: files rdnss dns" or an option that can be added to resolv.conf? -- Simon Arlott - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
