If I want to edit my networt config file to add a second DNS , all I have to do is put a space after the IP of the first DNS, and type in the IP of the second right? I am using Slackware 8.0
I am trying to get this added quickly because my browser keeps telling me host site not found, until I hit reload a few times. I think having another DNS in my config will help this problem out
Thanks for any help.

Take a look in your /etc/resolv.conf
Add the second DNS like the first one is entered. You'll need to restart your network services(or reboot, if you don't know how to restart network services).

Absolutely NO, if you are referring to /etc/resolv.conf.

I had always thought if you changed a .conf file that service needed to be restarted. :confused: Maybe 'cause when I was working on getting apache set up, I changed the httpd.conf quite a bit.
Now that I think of it, when I was working on getting Solaris 8 to resolve DNS, all I had to do was create an /etc/resolv.conf with the DNS info. It _did_ work without having to restart anything.

Thanks for the info peeps!!!
I seem to be getting a lot less problems with "trying to resove host" now.
BTW I just rebooted. Guess I am still to used to Windows :D
