ISP and resolv.conf prob.

[cny...@goconnect.net]

Recently, just join a second ISP, but everytime I dial through linux,
the resolv.conf is not automatically updated.

I currently have to change resolv.conf manually. Is there a way to
update resolv.conf automatically?

I have looked at dhcpcd and pump, both packages are available in the
RedHat CD, but both of them seems to be related to network card, I'm a
PPP user and only use it for connecting to internet. No network card
installed on comp.

This second ISP indicated that IP, Netmask and Gateway should all be
handle by DHCP but the DNS is supplied. How should I go round doing
that?

Another question is the iniscript package, it shows up as having
ip-up/down and ifup/down, can someone pls indicate what are their
differences, some documents refers to them as if they are the same.

Pls help, appreciate any replies.

current linux system is:
Redhat 6.2 (with updates)
xisp 2.6p1 as ppp dialer

If you are not using any other networking you should be able to
use the "usepeerdns" option in /etc/ppp/options without problems.
See the man page for pppd for other options.
