Subject: [9fans] [9pi] standardize \ normalize setting dns in
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 37f315c0-ead8-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

In 9pi, the cmdline.txt allows defining an env var that is evaluated and used by /bin/termrc.local as line arguments for ip/ipconfig. e.g.

term% dossrv -f/dev/sdM0/dos
term% mount -c /srv/dos /mnt
term% cat /mnt/cmdline.txt
readparts=1 nobootprompt=local user=glenda ipconfig='-g 10.0.0.138 ether /net/ether0 10.0.0.13 255.255.255.0'
term%

This however is only sufficient in establishing an ip. For dns resolution it's necessary to add a dns ip to the ndb. e.g.

term% ehco '    dns=8.8.8.8'>>/net/ndb

What I'd like to ask is for termrc.local to have a dns option so something like dns='8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4' will add the entries properly.

R.K.

p.s. Manually adding "ehco '    dns=8.8.8.8'>>/net/ndb" works but I'd like a more "official" solution...
