Resolvconf is great, as it allows you to configure your nameservers from
/etc/network/interfaces using the dns-nameservers directive.

I use resolvconf to configure my resolv.conf on my Dom0.  When I create
a new image using xen-tools, it creates a resolve.conf symlinked to a 
non-existent file, something it would appear to have obtained from the Dom0
environment, where resolvconf symlinks resolv.conf to another file.

When I xen-create-image, I have to manually mount the new DomU, and delete the
resolv.conf file, and recreate it correctly. 

Not a big problem, but it might cause confusion, as when this domU OS is
booted with the invalid symlink for resolve.conf, you can't edit and save
changes to the file, as it doesn't exist. 

Perhaps it would be best to 'cat' the Dom0 resolv.conf rather than copy
the symlink, or possibly even allow a dns option into xen-tools.
