 |
|
| I'm trying to figure out whether it's possible with dhcpd to specify an option that will force clients to put "options rotate" in /etc/resolv.conf. Any ideas? |

fully untested, but maybe with something like this on server side dhcp config
| Code: | option my-clients-options-rotate code 222 = text;
option my-clients-options-rotate "options rotate"; |
this *should* send the text 'options rotate' (as dhcp option 222) to the client but i've no idea whether or not dhcpcd or alike on client side can interpret that one to be written to resolv.conf.

Yes i know 
I did choose 222 as that one seems to be not predefined for anything i.e. 'free for use'
But resolv-conf is the much better option - reminds me to finally read something more about and play with that...
