If you're getting your systems are getting their IP addresses via DHCP in each of those places, you shouldn't actually have to set the "PEERDNS" variable, at all. The DHCP servers should be sending the DNS server info, by default, and the dhcpc proces will modify the resolv.conf file as needed. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org:2000 To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
