[AuckLUG] Ubuntu, DNS and Delink.

[antoine]

Had the same issue, the ugly hack I decided on using was to to edit
the script rewriting the resolv.conf. In Debian it's the
/etc/dhclient-script (might be in /etc/dhcp3 on ubuntu) which rewrites
your resolv.conf entries every 10 minutes.
Editing it and commenting this line should do the trick :

53c53
<         mv -f $new_resolv_conf /etc/resolv.conf
---
>         #mv -f $new_resolv_conf /etc/resolv.conf

I haven't tried it on ubuntu so you might have to play around before
it works and if you use a latptop you might have to switch forth and
back between the two versions depending on the network.
