Bug 551962: dhclient -6 overwrites /etc/resolv.conf set up by NetworkManager
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551962
------- Additional Comments from Jiri Popelka <jpopelka(a)redhat.com>
The solution to this problems would be in having a middleman which takes the
nameserver information from each service (dhclient, NetworkManager, initscripts
etc.) and merges them together to form one resolv.conf. The openresolv (bug
#668153) program addresses this.
However this BZ has been quite invalid since NetworkManager supports IPv4 &
IPv6 including responding to RA O & M bits (so there are actually no reasons
now to run another dhclient because of IPv6).
It could also cause more pain (see bug #668153, comment #3 + bug #679445,
comment #2) than gain (udo is the only person I know about who would benefit
from this).
Closing as wontfix.
