Hello,
I have setup a Linux proxy on FC2 with wvdial for internet connection over modem. I have about 5 differenet ISP dialup accounts & depending on connectivity, I keep juggling between the ISPs.
The problem is, whenever I swicth the ISP, I have to change the DSN IPs on the desktop too.
If I put my Proxy Server's IP address as the DNS on the desktop, then I will not have to keep changing the DNS values on the desktop.
Is there any simple way to forward DNS queries (recd from the desktops) to the ISP's DNS Server (allotted dynamically for every connection)?
Alternately is it not possible for server (i guess squid) to do all the resolving business and let the desktop live in peace....
Advice / suggestions / pointers are welcome.

Most ISPs configure to send the DNS server information when you dial-up. PPP supports dynamically updating /etc/resolv.conf with the information received from ISP. I think the option is called "Auto DNS" in wvdial. Make sure it is on.
