networking in static setup with gentoo 64bit
with dhcp it will use linode public dns, but that will not work for me since i query non free dns servers that linode does not pay for, thats why i like to use localhost with is free
as it is now this is a show stopper for me, and i think about why none other have seen this as a problem that should be solved so clients can select linode public dns, and localhost own dns server, networking admins i work with says its the way to go with non forwarding dns querys, forwarding breaks dnssec, and there is possible more that does not work that i do not know of yet
with gentoo i have /etc/conf.d/net
modules="iproute2"
config_eth0="176.58.121.172/24 2a01:7e00::f03c:91ff:fe69:4ef7/128"
routes_eth0="default via 176.58.121.1 default via 2a01:7e00::"
dns_servers="127.0.0.1"
dns_search="mydomain.example.org members.linode.com"
dns_domain="mydomain.example.org"
after rebooting ping and ping6 works, linode admins can ping my host ips just fine
but not all daemond start
eg dovecot started after boot, but i could not restart it without fails, and after boot i was not able to start apache, gentoo belived network is down and would like to start it, with fails since it is started, hmm
if i turn over to dhcp then all works except it does not use my own bind
how do i resolve it ?

dhcp_eth0="nodns"
Your routes_eth0 line is incorrect, and should be this (if you choose to stay with static networing):
routes_eth0="default via 176.58.121.1
default via fe80::1"
Because routes require multi-word specifications, they have to separated by newlines, or oldnet can't figure out what you mean. In addition, the default gateway for IPv6 in all facilities is fe80::1.
Linode's resolvers do full recursion, validate DNSSEC information as they perform lookups, and do not return A/AAAA records that shouldn't exist, unlike, for example, OpenDNS, which sends you to their ad-ridden search page.

i will take this with linode, the gentoo side is now working, but my daemons is not running like i wanted
i had forgot the dhcp_eth0="nodns" fokused more on dhcpcd client
What are these 'non free dns servers' you mention?
