Router Configuration DNS

I would like to switch to OPENDNS so i need to tell eth0 not do DNS.

[For gentooers its easy]

/etc/conf.d/
config_eth0="dhcp"
dhcp_eth0="nodns"
dns_servers_eth0="127.0.0.1 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220"

How would i approach this the Arch Way in rc.conf (tried many different methods!!)?

/etc/conf.d/dhcpcd ?  [[ DHCPCD_ARGS= ...... nodns??? ]]

Re: Router Configuration DNS

Hi Hongkongblue,
put the dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver x.x.x.x
nameserver x.x.x.x

Re: Router Configuration DNS

Hi Hongkongblue,
put the dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver x.x.x.x
nameserver x.x.x.x

Thanks, yes that would be fine if my router didn't keep renewing them on lease change.

Specifically, i need to stop dhcp renewing /etc/resolv.conf by telling it to stop doing dns.

Even if i stop using DHCP and assign a static address resolv.conf keeps being overwritten....

Re: Router Configuration DNS

Add -R option in:

/etc/conf.d/dhcpcd

For more information man dhcpcd
