I have since torn down the lab and updated the DNS on my RBR20 to point to new DNS servers, however the satellites do not seem to update. They are still pointing to my Lab DNS servers. As you can imagine this is causing serious issues for systems & applications that do not have DNS hard coded in their configs. I have followed the instructions for factory resetting the entire system and rebuilding from scratch, but the resolv.conf is still pointing to the old DNS servers. I can manually edit the config, but I would prefer not to have to do that every time I decide to change my DNS. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
