I have net-misc/dhcpcd-3.0.2 installed. I'm connected to a network with a dhcp Server that provides the address of the DNS Server.

Seen behaviour:
1) dhcpcd starts für eth0, sets the default route and replaces /etc/resolv.conf
2) Running kppp to connect to a dialup network replaces my default route and the /etc/resolv.conf
3) when the DHCP lease expires (here after 1200 seconds) it overrides the /etc/resolv.conf again
4) The default route is NOT renewed

This makes it hard for me to use a dialup client, because the DNS Servers are changed again after my network lease expires. 

Expected behaviour:
1) When first obtaining a DHCP lease, write the /etc/resolv.conf
2) When renewing a lease, the existing /etc/resolv.conf should be untouched, unless the network configuration has changed

Thanks,
Sascha

Why don't you emerge resolvconf-gentoo to manage /etc/resolv.conf for you?

Thank you, I did not know about resolvconf-gentoo. It works just fine now.

Cool, closing then. Thanks for reporting back.
