[OpenIndiana-discuss] DNS server and domain from DHCP?

[Philip Kime]

I used ipadm to set up the dhcp connection:

root at park:~# svcs network/physical
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         Dec_18   svc:/network/physical:nwam
offline        Dec_18   svc:/network/physical:default

I manually set the DNS server several years ago, can't remember how. Now I need to get it from DHCP.
