[NTLUG:Discuss] SuSE 10.3 network script issue

Greetings.

I am hoping this issue is a bit more solveable than previous ones.

In my /etc/sysconfig/network/config file, I have
MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_STATIC_DNS
set to a local DNS caching service I am running.  In addition, I have;
MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY="yes"

Unfortunately, something is getting ignored here.  Specifically, the
address I am specifying is not getting set.  The network script
responsible for this seems to be;
/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/oldnet2new.sh
Two issues I think I've noticed;
1) This script does not seem to be called from anywhere (I grepped the
/etc directory looking for it).
2) While it references the MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY variable, it
does not reference the MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_STATIC_DNS.  And as far as I
can determine, neither does anything else.

~From oldnet2new.sh -- is this right?  If not, what would be the correct
script (or ar settings), and how would I get it called?	

# Handle MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY
if [ "$MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY" ]; then
~        sed -e \

"s/^MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY=.*/MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY=$MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY/$
~        $MAINCONFFILE > "$MAINCONFFILE.new"
~        if [ -s $MAINCONFFILE.new ]; then
~                mv $MAINCONFFILE.new $MAINCONFFILE
~        fi;
fi;

Regards,
Steve
