DNS on diap up problems
I'm running redhat 6.2 with a dial up account (static ip) and i've noticed that when my isp bouces my connection after 360 minutes and ppp0 reestablishes the connection my /etc/resolv.conf file changes back to my isp ip#, i have them down as the secondary...
resolv.conf file...
domain getby.com
12.7.223.212 (this changes to 199.104.81.26)
199.104.81.3
i have /etc/hosts as
dns
i tried
dns, hosts and hosts, dns
nothing works how do i stop my resolv.conf file from changing??? any ideas please!!!!

What's probably happening is the ppp daemon is resetting resolv.conf to what your ISP wants it to be, try setting the file immutable so that nothign can change it (chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf as root).
