This is my solution for managing /etc/resolv.conf when using openvpn in parallel with dhcp on ethernet. The problem is that I need to add a DNS server from the VPN connection to whatever my normal network gives me. This is fine until the normal DHCP renews the subscription and overwrites /etc/resolv.conf. removing the VPN-DNS in the process. My solution (dhclient-based) is here: http://rosenberg.homelinux.net/wordpress/index.php?p=22 Maybe other solutions exists, if so I'd like to hear about them. -- robin - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
