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.
