Weren't you speaking about /etc/resolv.conf? How should that config file
influence routing? Do I miss something in discussion here? But your
posting just expressed "if resolv.conf is changed a network restart is
necessary". And I say, there is no reason for that. Different DNS
servers are asked if that was changed, a different search is active
immediately, if that was changed.
