hi, having this trouble with dns on my linux router, connected to internet through adsl, and masquerading to the lan on 192.168.*.*. All works fine in the normal case, but. The thing is that my isp has this crazy configuration that I need to unplug the mains of the adsl router for atleast 2 hours to change dynamic ip. This is wrong according to me, but that is the way their system is set up. So, when I sometimes unplug the adsl card, and start the router(a suse linux box) it of course gets no ip address,neither does dns work. if I then plug in the adsl router to the mains the router gets the ip after a short while, but the dns does not work. In other words I need to reboot the router (and having mains to adsl box) to get onto the net. How can this rebooting be avoided? What I am searching for is a way to get the adsl link with address, and also get dns working, at the same time without rebooting. Thank you for your help. F

The domain is what it is. This is a adsl link with dynamic ip configuration used as a home office, ipmasquerading to 192.168.0.*.
