Special Forums IP Networking One router, 2 machines, to OS, 2 different ext. IP's? Post 302954934 by hicksd8 on Sunday 13th of September 2015 10:31:32 AM

I still don't quite understand what you are trying to do.

I am not a bsd expert but resolv.conf in generic Unix only tells the OS which DNS servers to use for name resolution.

You want a particular workstation to send its internet traffic to a "hand picked server". Is that server on your LAN or elsewhere (on the internet)?
If it's on your LAN then you would configure the workstation to use that server as a proxy server.

RPC.BOOTPARAMD(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					 RPC.BOOTPARAMD(8)

NAME
bootparamd, rpc.bootparamd -- boot parameter server SYNOPSIS
bootparamd [-ds] [-i interface] [-r router] [-f file] DESCRIPTION
bootparamd is a server process that provides information to diskless clients necessary for booting. It consults the file ``/etc/bootparams''. It should normally be started from ``/etc/rc''. This version will allow the use of aliases on the hostname in the ``/etc/bootparams'' file. The hostname returned in response to the booting client's whoami request will be the name that appears in the config file, not the canonical name. In this way you can keep the answer short enough so that machines that cannot handle long hostnames won't fail during boot. While parsing, if a line containing just ``+'' is found, and the YP subsystem is active, the YP map bootparams will be searched immediately. OPTIONS
-d Display the debugging information. The daemon does not fork in this case. -i interface Specify the interface to become the default router. bootparamd picks the first IPv4 address it finds on the system by default. With -i, you can control which interface to be used to obtain the default router address. -r overrides -i. -s Log the debugging information with syslog(3). -r Set the default router (a hostname or IP-address). This defaults to the machine running the server. -f Specify the file to use as boot parameter file instead of ``/etc/bootparams''. FILES

You may find the syslog messages too verbose. It's not clear if the non-canonical hack mentioned above is a good idea. BSD
