DNS server issues

[ilium007]

Hi - this has me stumped. I have set static DNS server names in /etc/network/interfaces (yes, I have resolvconf installed).

Code: Select all

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

#auto eth0
#allow-hotplug eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.10.7
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.10.1
dns-nameservers 209.222.18.222 209.222.18.218

But no matter what I do I end up with my router gateway (local DNS proxy) in the resulting /etc/resolv.conf:

Code: Select all

i@raspberrypi ~ $ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 192.168.10.1
nameserver 209.222.18.222
nameserver 209.222.18.218
search local
pi@raspberrypi ~ $

I do not want 192.168.10.1 in that list. I dont know where it is coming from. My only guess is the DHCP client that should NOT be doing anything as I am running a static IP config on eth0.

I am running Debian Wheezy:

Code: Select all

i@raspberrypi ~ $ cat /etc/debian_version
7.8
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 3.18.11+ #781 PREEMPT Tue Apr 21 18:02:18 BST 2015 armv6l GNU/Linux
pi@raspberrypi ~ $

Any help would be appreciated.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.10.7
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.10.1
dns-nameservers 209.222.18.222 209.222.18.218

you need to delete auto eth0

Is this Raspbian Wheezy of Raspbian Jessie?

If it's Jessie then you're doing it wrong. Put the /etc/network/interfaces file back to the way it was (or re-install raspberrypi-net-mods). Do your stuff for your static IP address and DNS servers in /etc/dhcpcd.conf.

... it's wheezy as stated in the OP.

The easiest way is to change your /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf file and add your DNS servers there:

Code: Select all

supersede domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;

Otherwise, if you prefer to do it in the interfaces file, you can add a hook in /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/. Create a executable script, say, keep_off_my_dns with:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
make_resolv_conf() {
    exit 0
}

I have a similar problem, although in my case, it's on a dhcp connection.

I do have this working properly on a static IP pi, simply by setting interfaces as listed above.

The one I'm having problems with is configured in interfaces as follows:

Code: Select all

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
dns-nameservers 50.116.23.211 209.141.53.57

resolv.conf shows the following:

Code: Select all

# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
nameserver 50.116.23.211
nameserver 209.141.53.57

I have also tried adding DNS to dhclient.conf:

Code: Select all

prepend domain-name-servers 50.116.23.211 209.141.53.57;

Raspbian Wheezy, as original OP. Also currently up to date.

Does anyone have any ideas how to get rid of the router issued DNS or how to get prepend to work, properly?
