As it turns out, my installation is using udhcpd and writing the data to /tmp/resolv.conf while dnsmasq is still looking at /etc/resolv.conf. Since I don't have any directives to look at any other resolv.conf that I can see, I think it's safe to assume that dnsmasq is honoring my own /etc/resolv.conf and ignoring the DHCP packet.<br><br /><hr />See how Windows Mobile brings your life together—at home, work, or on the go. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093182mrt/direct/01/' target='_new'>See Now</a></body>
