Hi all,
I'm trying to tell my linode to use my own personal DHCP resolver rather than the ones given to me via dhclient.
In /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf I set this:

request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers,
   domain-name, domain-search, host-name,
   netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu,
   rfc3442-classless-static-routes;
supersede domain-name-servers "127.0.0.1";

So I'm not explicitly requesting domain-name-servers and I'm superseding it anyway. According to the two relevant man pages this should be enough. But it's not working!

I also want to override the timezone eventually, which should be the same procedure as above.

Any tips?

The best problems are the simplest ones. Removed the " marks and everything works as expected.
