Also see the thread: > > Re: f9 resetting dns nameservers > > > > NM does not seem to honor PEERDNS=no What's the expected behavior there for ifup? For NM, the way it _should_ currently work is: 1) if using DHCP; DNS1..3 will override whatever the DHCP server sends you 2) if using static: you must specify DNSX or else you won't get DNS servers The problem is that we can't pull DNS servers from the existing resolv.conf, because stuff rewrites resolv.conf. We need to store DNS information in the ifcfg files so that when more than one connection gets brought up, we can merge the information from both of those connections into a suitable resolv.conf. What might be a good thing to do is honor PEERDNS=no for a connection/ifcfg such that NM just won't use anything that an automatic configuration method (like DHCP or PPP) returns for that connection.
