Mandrake and Red Hat both put a lot of stuff in /etc/sysconfig/network, so I'd
start by poking around in there.
You could put your fix.dns as the last line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, too. That way
it would run when needed. This isn't a laptop is it? I have lots of things to
reconfigure on mine depending on where it's plugged in. If it's a desktop,
you can just do the same thing all of the time.. =-]
Later,
Tony
