It doesn't, that file only shows what the dhcp server told dhcpcd to use. |
| 16 |
It is not used by your system for dns information. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
/etc/resolv.conf lists the dns servers your system uses. (nameserver) |

Configure dhcpcd to run with -R so resolve.conf is not replaced with the |
| 26 |
resolve directives recieved from the dhcp server. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
In /etc/conf.d/net: |
| 29 |
config_eth0=("dhcp") |
| 30 |
dhcpcd_eth0="-R" |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Now you can add/replace your own dns servers in /etc/resolve.conf |
