Hello all,
I've just installed Fedora 18 X86-64. I disabled and uninstalled networkmanager and use the standard networking stuff which seems to use dhclient. I'm using a standard ethernet connection.
So I need to do two things. Feel free to tell me to RTFM if you can provide a link!
- How do I enable pre-pending of nameservers? I want to use
dnsmasq to cache DNS requests so I need to add 127.0.0.1 to the top of resolv.conf. Google searchs take me to the Arch Wiki. I can't seem to find a dhclient.conf file anywhere in /etc.
- How do I assign a zone in firewalld to my connection? I want
to be able to open ports for bittorrent and XMPP jingle voice/video. The firewalld wiki on the Fedora site doesn't seem to be able to answer my question.
thanks in advance,
Ananda Samaddar
You may want to read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-9.42.2/sysconfig.txt
- search for PEERDNS.

Thanks Mikkel but I don't think this works. In the ifcfg settings if you specify a DNS server then the network is assumed to have static DNS. So if I put DNS1=127.0.0.1 in the the ifcfg-em1 file all I get in resolv.conf is that nameserver and not the one supplied by my router underneath.
