[Buildroot] DNS and static ip

[Charles Krinke]

I am searching for a little knowledge on DNS with staticIP addresses
in busybox.

Is there a setting, like "nameserver = 8.8.8.8" that can be added to
/etc/network/interfaces when one uses static ip addresses in busybox
or said differently "What is the proper way to deal with DNS in
busybox with static ip addresses?"

nameserver 8.8.8.8

in /etc/resolv.conf. It is not different than using dynamic addressing
with DHCP, except that in the DHCP case, the DHCP client automatically
fills this file for you.

Or maybe I did not understand your question properly?

Ah, here is the problem, Thomas. In the build I am working with
resolv.conf is not in the skeleton, but after booting it is a softlink

resolv.conf -> ../tmp/resolv.conf

So, perhaps the problem is my understanding how this softlink was
created. I dont see it in device_table.txt and dont know where to look
next.

In the system I am looking at, /etc/resolv.conf is a
