[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#596507: /sbin/dhclient: dhclient.conf: prepend domain-name-servers has no effect on resolv.conf

[Joel Roth]

Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.1.1-P1-9
Severity: important
File: /sbin/dhclient

Greetings,


I'm having trouble configuring /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf.
According to the docs, if I include the line:

	prepend domain-name-servers 4.2.2.1

I am expecting that a lease renewal should put this
line in resolv.conf:

	nameserver 4.2.2.1

I was expecting something like:

	domain hawaiiantel.net
	search hawaiiantel.net
	nameserver 4.2.2.1    
	nameserver 192.168.0.1  # router address

But after /etc/init.d/networking restart I get the same
resolv.conf as usual:

	domain hawaiiantel.net
	search hawaiiantel.net
	nameserver 192.168.0.1

Relevant config files follow. Thank you.
