Code:
localhost ~ # host forums.gentoo.org
host: parse of /etc/resolv.conf failed
localhost ~ # nslookup forums.gentoo.org
nslookup: parse of /etc/resolv.conf failed


Not sure when it started. Tried upgrading to ~x86 bind-tools but that doesn't help.

As far as I know, resolv.conf is generated by dhcpcd.

This is my current resolv.conf:

Code:

# Generated by dhcpcd for interface eth1
search
nameserver 83.255.249.10
nameserver 83.255.245.10


I'm using net-misc/dhcpcd-3.0.11 and net-dns/bind-tools-9.3.4

It looks like your missing the domain name on the search line.

"search" specifies the list of domain names to use when trying to resolve simple host names. Your dhcp server should be providing this.

You're correct. Commenting out the search line makes the file parseable. Now the only problem is that dhcpcd will overwrite my fix... Stupid dhcp server.

Set the /etc/resolv.conf how you want it, then in /etc/conf.d/net add the line
Code:

dhcp_eth1=( "nodns" )

Then it will leave that file alone.
