Is this possible and, if so, how? Using profiles. Set them up with Yast.
Carlos,
Can you please elaborate on how to do this? Well, in Yast, select System / Profile Manager, and folllow the wizzard.
What this does is store a copy of the configuration files somewhere, and you name it "home" and "office", for instance. When you change the active profile, the changes you did to any configuration files are saved, and the other profile is copied over your configuration. The profile can be choosen at boot somehow.
All this is much better explained in the suse manual :-)
Perhaps I misunderstand. I don't want separate profiles for roaming (one profile for office, one for home, etc.).
I was wondering if there was a way to be at one location and have 2 interfaces up simultaneously (such as eth0 and ppp0) and each interface would be on 2 separate networks with each interface having a 'separate, unique' /etc/resolv.conf it is referencing for name resolution.
Then how do you guarantee UNIQUE domain name resolution? With your idea, it's possible to get two DIFFERENT answers -- one from the Ethernet interface, and another from the wireless interface, which is a fundamental violation of the Internet routing model (both for TCP/IP and UDP)
Right now it appears as though when each interface needs to resolve a name, they are both referencing /etc/resolv.conf which will resolve fine for one interface, but not the other.
Which is proper... the DNS reference goes out, and then the the request is ultimately fulfilled by the proper server, which comes to you via the Ethernet or the Wireless, but never BOTH for the same request. Get yourself a network book, and learn this material, because you're obviously having some difficulty with the basic concepts of how the whole DNS fabric works. For ANY DNS resolution, there is one, and ONLY one Domain server with the authoritative answer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
