Hi,

I´m working for some time with a wireless mesh.  I have several devices
with a basic linux inside (Openwrt) and they are running Batmand protocol.
One of the mesh nodes acts as a gateway to internet, obtaining IP and DNS
trough pppoe. The other nodes act as clients and connect to internet
trough this gateway.

The only problem that I’m facing , is that even when the gateway creates
the tunnel ( gate0) with the client node and gave it internet connectivity
, it doesn’t modify the /etc/resolv.conf file, and the client node isn’t
capable of resolving names (DNS).



I don’t understand why the gateway node is not giving the client node all
the necessary information of the internet connection.  I suppose by
protocol , if the gateway makes a tunnel , gives IP and route to the
clients nodes, It also has to give them a way to resolve names (DNS).

Hope someone can help me in this matter, I spend a lot of time in this.

Regards,
