dnsmasq and dhclient on same machine
|
|
| Troy Piggins 2007-05-29, 1:19 am |
| I'm running dnsmasq on the gateway of a small network of around
12 machines. The machine running dnsmasq also runs dhclient to
obtain it's dynamic IP address from our ISP.
For dnsmasq to work, from what I understand in the docs, I have
added 'nameserver 127.0.0.1' to /etc/resolv.conf
Trouble is, every so often dhclient seems to overwrite
/etc/resolv.conf with the ISP's nameservers and the localhost
entry gets wiped.
Any way to get it to stay permanently? Does the debian/ubuntu
package 'resolvconf' help this?

I've been advised that the solution is to add:
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
