Re: [Plug] pppd and auto DNS


The problem is that one of my "ISP"'s is a protected, firewalled network with DNS
servers in a demilitarized zone, which can only be used while connected to that
provider. I have to use one set of DNS servers for my regular ISP and another set
for the protected network. And again, I don't want to change resolv.conf files each
time I dial up. Windows can handle dynamic DNS without any problem. Why not Linux?
