I want to add 127.0.0.1 at the top of my nameserver list in /etc/resolv.conf, so I used this in dhclient.conf: prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; But this is not enough in my case, because the DHCP configuration from my VPS provider makes /etc/resolv.conf to have this line at the end: options rotate The problem is that I don't want rotating nameservers, I want to use 127.0.0.1 most of the time. The manpage for dhclient.conf should explain how to disable such line (if there is a way at all to do so). Currently, it does not say anything. Thanks.
