nameservers

Tue Jun 26, 2012 6:35 pm

I need help with nameservers.
Tried resolv.conf, resolvconf and interfaces.

I can't make long posts (full info) for reasons unknown

tried tcpdump to check if am using the newly set dnsserver, but it doesn't work well:
tcpdump port 53

Is there a better option to check which nameserver i am actually using?

strange enough those posts work, while the full one fails...

nslookup refracta.org

should return the dns server that is used....something like
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53

In forums the opinion seems to be to add:
supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1, 204.45.18.18, 204.45.18.26; #dnsreactor
to etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
while some web results propose to use resolvconf (debian wiki "configuring network" and debian wiki "freedombox, Configs, Tor".

resolvconf gave me hard times (network crashes), but perhaps that was coincidence.
For now i will settler for mentioned method, as it seems to work reliable.
