[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] DNS resolution on n770, how it works?

Hello,

It looks like /etc/resolv.conf contains only localhost, yet when I 
connect to wlan network DNS works fine. So the information is kept 
elsewhere (probably some dns server is running on 127.0.0.1?). How 
exactly it works?

I'm asking because I'm trying to use pptp client and when I connect to 
my vpn (no problem here with modified kernel) DNS stops to work. I'd 
like to know how to fix the DNS configuration so that both DNS servers 
are used (public one and the one in vpn network). Also when I close the 
VPN how to restore previous DNS configuration.
