Hi,

>domain socal.rr.com
>nameserver 76.168.0.1

Interesting. A reverse DNS says this is not even a name server. See
below. In addition, it refuses to perform DNS requests for me. Perhaps,
road runner is forcing it to respond only to IP addresses on its networks.

>But each time that I close and reopen Firefox, RESOLV2 looks like this:

>domain socal.rr.com
>nameserver 76.168.0.1
>nameserver 66.75.164.90
>nameserver 66.75.164.90

That is sorta odd. I can understand this occuring after a reboot if you
are using DHCP, but not just with a Firefox restart. You can tell DHCP to
ask the server to provide you with DNS addresses. Of course, if you do
RESOLV2 is going to be updated.

The gory details are encoded in dhcpcd.cfg. Option 6, IIRC, is what
triggers the RESOLV2 update.

I guess if you are running a dual wired/wireless setup changes in the
wireless connnection could trigger RESOLV2 updates.
