Hi,

When using DHCP, resolv.conf is updated with the router's IP for the
nameserver at binding time...

nameserver 192.168.1.1

Is there a way to have one or more static nameserver addresses to
resolv.conf added when this happens?

nameserver 195.238.2.22
nameserver 195.238.2.21
nameserver 192.168.1.1

I've read somewhere (http://blogs.sun.com/darren/entry/dhcp_eventhook)
that eventhooks can be used in Solaris 10 for this purpose.

Thanks,
Unix/Solaris newbie

Yes, that's currently what you have to do.  Beware that there are also
system start-up scripts that rewhack /etc/resolv.conf at boot time,
and that these aren't driven directly by DHCP.

In particular, svc:/network/service:default will do this.  To be safe,
you need to create a script that will run _after_ that one runs.

A better answer is to fix the DHCP server so that it gives out good
numbers, and to talk to the OpenSolaris NWAM project team to see what
they're doing in this area for the future.
