Earlier today, I changed the DHCP settings in my router because I have a new local DNS server.
I have set the lease time in my router to 10 minutes.
I would have expected that this change was propagated through my netwerk, but the proxmox host did not pick it up, apparently.
/etc/resolv.cont still has the ip address of the old DNS server, which does not exist anymore.

It is not difficult to fix, but how could I have avoided this?
 
hi,

you could set the DNS server in your router :)
 
I did. I am using option 6 in the DHCP setting, which works for the other systems in the network.
is your PVE taking its IP address also from DHCP? if not then the DHCP option won't do much..
