Hello, I'm having the same problem here. Dapper fresh install, all updates done as of 3rd July 2006, change from DHCP to static and /etc/named.conf is empty.
Removing resolvconf (part of the default install) un-symlinks /etc/resolv.conf so doesnt get overwritten each boot. -- /etc/resolv.conf is empty after a system reboot. https://launchpad.net/bugs/31057 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
