>Description:
I run a local nameserver and my dhclient.conf therefore looks
like this:
"supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;"
this works fine when the interface comes up, but if it goes down
and up for any reason (cable unpligs, of taking down with ifconfig)
then the line is ignored and the name servers from dhcp are placed
into resolv.conf instead.
>How-To-Repeat:
setup an dhcp client with a local nameserver as described above
check in resolv.conf that 127.0.0.1 is being used as the nameserver
ifconfig <interface> down
ifconfig <interface> up
check in resolv.conf and the nameserver will have been replaced
