I would like to add Namecoin support to my Android phone (galaxy s) like this: http://dot-bit.org/How_To_Install_Dns_Suffix

I managed to mount the system as read-write and add a resolv.conf to my etc folder like this:

search namecoin-suffix nameserver 8.8.8.8

Now it works fine with nslookup but not with ping or any other program. Is there anything else I have to do?

edit 2012-03-11:

looks like Android does not use resolv.conf at all.

tried these properties but no luck yet (can be read/set with getprop and setprop from the shell):

net.dns1 net.dns2 net.dns.search -> space separated domain search suffixes (used e.g. by VPN)

There are additional dns server properties that may have to be changed. The properties are not persistent over a reboot.

I haven't tried this, but a quick look at Android's bionic libc sources seems to indicate that Android might use /etc/ppp/resolv.conf:

(from http://code.metager.de/source/xref/android/4.1.1/bionic/libc/private/resolv_private.h#113)

 92 /* 93 * Resolver configuration file. 94 * Normally not present, but may contain the address of the 95 * initial name server(s) to query and the domain search list. 96 */ 97 98 #ifndef _PATH_RESCONF 99 #ifdef ANDROID_CHANGES 100 #define _PATH_RESCONF "/etc/ppp/resolv.conf" 101 #else 102 #define _PATH_RESCONF "/etc/resolv.conf" 103 #endif 104 #endif
