I'm pretty sure that you have the IP address of the router in your /etc/resolv.conf. So, the DNS server your using is the same as the DHCP server. In this case, when the DHCP server supplies a lease it also adds a DNS record. That didn't dawn on me since all of my servers use static IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and use a different DNS server than the router. So....my bad for not thinking of that. Anyway..... I'll have my write up soon. I had my own issue here which has me side-tracked. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
