Re: /etc/resolv.conf keeps getting overwritten

Hello,

I am having the same problem and have read all replies on this thread.
My /etc/dhclient.conf has the
following entries only (and nothing else):

==================================
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1, 10.2.0.25;
supersede domain-name "homenet.cablespeed.com cablespeed.com work.com";
#append domain-name-servers 91.82.123.25;
==================================

After running "ifup -a" my /etc/resolv.conf does list the following
entries:

=====================================================
search homenet.cablespeed.com cablespeed.com work.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 10.2.0.25
nameserver 24.56.222.66
nameserver 24.56.222.67
nameserver 209.153.128.4
nameserver 169.207.1.3
=====================================================

The minute I uncomment the last line (append) in dhclient.conf and I run
"ifup -a" the  /etc/resolv.conf
looks like this:

=====================================================
search homenet.cablespeed.com cablespeed.com work.com
nameserver 24.56.222.66
nameserver 24.56.222.67
nameserver 209.153.128.4
nameserver 169.207.1.3
nameserver 91.82.123.25
=====================================================

Why is the "append" statement in /etc/dhclient.conf removing

the (prepend) local domain-name-servers?

Thank you in advance for any help.
