Network configuration files from webOS 2.1.0 .

By default, webOS use configuration from dnsmasq process

* /etc/dnsmasq.palm.conf , in this file, only several parameters are enabled :

# Never forward plain names (with a dot or domain part)
domain-needed
# Never forward addresses in the non-routed address spaces.
bogus-priv
...
# Change this line if you want dns to get its upstream servers from
# somewhere other that /etc/resolv.conf
resolv-file=/tmp/resolv.conf
...
# By default, dnsmasq will send queries to any of the upstream
# servers it knows about and tries to favour servers to are known
# to be up. Uncommenting this forces dnsmasq to try each query
# with each server strictly in the order they appear in
# /etc/resolv.conf
strict-order
...
# If you don't want dnsmasq to poll /etc/resolv.conf or other resolv
# files for changes and re-read them then uncomment this.
no-poll
...
# If you want dnsmasq to listen for requests only on specified interfaces
# (and the loopback) give the name of the interface (eg eth0) here.
# Repeat the line for more than one interface.
interface=lo
interface=bridge0
...
# Include a another lot of configuration options.
