There isn't. This is the default, unmodified named.conf. I've now rebooted to check, and /etc/resolv.conf has again been overwritten by NM, despite the PEERDNS=no line in the ifcfg file, i.e. it has reverted to what it was. NM seems to be calling dhclient with its own private config file, the whereabouts of which are non-obvious. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
