I've been doing the dhclient kickoff, then sucking the DNS entries out of /etc/resolv.conf into the named.conf file, starting the local named, and putting 127.0.0.1 in my resolv.conf for quite a while now. This: http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/css/bin/rig-named.conf sucks the IPs from /etc/resolv.conf and the whole incantation after DHCP has run is: if rig-named.conf then bsed '/nameserver/d' /etc/resolv.conf echo nameserver 127.0.0.1 >>/etc/resolv.conf fi bsed and rlr come from the same script collection. -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ Here was a man who not only had a ready mind and a quick wit, but could also sing. - _Rope_
