resolv.conf!

[Ryanmt]

The dns servers on my vps are down so ive been told to use the opendns ones.

Easy right, edit resolv.conf. I do that, reboot.. the files changed back.

So i edit dhclient.conf and add

supersede (also tried prepend) domain-name-servers xx,xx;

Reboot, its changed back :(

so i go into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and edit the two files vnet0 and vnet0:0 (2 ip's) and add PEERDNS=no.

Reboot, resolv.conf and the two files ive edited have changed back to orginal.

Im pulling my hair out since i cant resolve anything to send emails etc, and its starting to feel alot like groundhog day.

Manually edit /etc/resolv.conf and then chatter +i /etc/resolv.conf

Makes it unchangable, even by root, unless you chatter -i /etc/resolv.conf

Might also want to think about installing bind as a caching only nameserver, then you can just reference localhost.

Done that..

sudo cat /etc/resolv.conf
#search lan
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.222.220
ryanmt@vps:~$ ping google.com

This is normal if your server is a vserver based on openvz or virtuozzo. You have to ask your provider to change the dns servers in the virtualisation software.
