Hi,

Hi,
with Panther, DNS servers could be added by adding entries to
resolv.conf, and these changes were accepted system wide. With Tiger,
this doesn't seem to work anymore... (at least for applications using
lookupd). Did anybody already figured out a way to add/remove DNS
servers dynamically for using DNS servers located in VPN network for
the time the VPN is active?
I am using OSX 10.3; but here you need to restart lookupd as well, just
changing /var/run/resolv.conf does not work system wide, though it does
seem to work for command line tools like 'host'. If you read the lookupd
man page it turns out the recommended way to restart it is by just
sending a HUP signal: kill -HUP `cat /var/run/lookupd.pid`. This works
fine for me.
However... this may not be true for 10.4. Plus I remember a post in this
mailing list where somebody pointed at the proper command line tool to
use when one wants to update the local dns config. Sorry, forgot which
one it was but it should be in the archives somewhere. Hope this helps
though.
Cheers,
Tim
Thanks!

Ralf
