Something like the following: search your-own-domain-name nameserver 192.168.1.2 nameserver 192.168.1.4 nameserver 192.168.1.1 Where "your-own-domain-name" is replaced by your own domain name. The "search" keyword could be "domain", instead. They do similar functions, but are mutually exclusive. The nameserver lines list any and all DNS servers that you use. If you don't want your interfaces going on- and off-line from changing your resolve configuration (e.g. because you always use the same details), then reconfigure their network configurations not to peer DNS. (I think that's the right one to adjust. Read the manuals to be sure.) -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
