if you use injoy, it rewrites the resolv or resolv2 file on each connect...
i can't remember which one :( most dhcp clients will also rewrite the
resolv files... this is necessary for the possibility of changed dns
servers... this is why i hardcode the dns servers that /i/ want to use and
also generally run my own dns server...
