You do not need to adjust the /etc/resolv.conf dynamically. If PEERDNS=yes is set, then the network scripts Fedora has will do this job automatically. That is the sense of this setting. If you do not use PEERDNS, then the resolv.conf will not be touched by the scripts. > > The trivial method now is to place these 2 DNS IP addresses into the > > TCP/IP settings for the client host(s) behind the gateway. > > So I should write to the file that contains the TCP/IP settings? Er, > which file is that? I thought your client is a Windows® host. So set the DNS addresses there in the TCP/IP settings - sorry, due to lack of a Windows® host I can't direct you here.
