this patch would only work with one dns server, is that sufficient?

thanks

Up until RHEL 6.1 you can only define 1 primary nameserver
But according to the Installation Guide for 6 Beta there can be now two

--nameserver= — Primary nameserver, as an IP address. Multiple nameservers must each be separated by a comma.

This looks related to Issue #1354.

bump?

thanks for the patch, I'm willing to merge it, just one question, what is the usage of the subnet help?

you could simply do
@host.subnet.gateway in your templates?

Sorry for the delay. The campus I support had a fiber outage so we've been busy moving servers all over the place.

Accessing subnet values with @host.subnet.gateway is much cleaner, and works. I think the use of the helper method was a lack of understanding on my part of how to use methods in Ruby Rails. You can ignore the changes to app/helpers/unattended_helper.rb. Though make sure to use the patch from my update, not the patches in the original post. It fixes mistakes I made with the DB migration.

Correction, I can't use this is the PXELinux templates...

default linux
label linux
kernel <%= @kernel %>
append initrd=<%= @initrd %> ks=<%= foreman_url("provision")%> ksdevice=eth0 network kssendmac ip=<%= ip %> netmask=<%= subnet[:mask] %> gateway=<%= subnet[:gateway] %> dns=<%= subnet[:dns_primary] %>

I can however use the following

default linux
label linux
kernel <%= @kernel %>
append initrd=<%= @initrd %> ks=<%= foreman_url("provision")%> ksdevice=eth0 network kssendmac ip=<%= ip %> netmask=<%= @host.subnet.mask %> gateway=<%= @host.subnet.gateway %> dns=<%= @host.subnet.dns_primary %>

The error I get when using the first attempt is this (hostnames/ip changed)

I will get back in a day or two if I found out how to fix...I don't see how it works in Kickstart but not PXELinux as they are all "config_templates".

tftp templates are kind of special, just drop the "@host." and it should work..

The terminals were connected to the terminal hosts through serial interfaces and perhaps circuit switched networks, but not connected to any IP based network, and were not assigned IP addresses. Today's IP hosts may, however, lack ability to serve as terminal hosts. Thanks a lot.
