How do I set up Slackware 9.1 to use DHCP with a static DNS?


I am trying out Slackware on an extra box for testing and learning.

I've set up my eth0 to use dhcp in the inet.conf file. Although it works great for pickup up the address and gateway, it overwrites my resolve.conf file where I put the static DNS address.

How do I get it to leave the resolve.conf alone...or get it to write the static IP addresses in the resolve.conf file when it starts the network?

I checked rc.inet1.conf, rc.inet2.conf but could not find anything that had to do with the DNS. Where should I be looking? Thanks for helping out this newbie.

Adding a -R option to the dhcpcd command in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 will prevent /etc/resolv.conf from being updated by dhcpcd.

I know it's bad to resurrect old posts, but when searching for "Slackware use dhcp with static nameserver", this one is one of the top results.

From Slackware 13.37 (maybe previous versions as well), you can add this to your card config in "rc.inet1.conf":
Code:
DHCP_KEEPRESOLV[x]="yes"
Replace x by your card number.

Using DHCP, your /etc/resolv.conf will not be modified.
Please note that this is a "per network card" setting. If using several NICs, and want to always use a static DNS server, make the change for each NIC.
