Hello,
As the title says, there is no documentation about dns-nameserver
nor about dns-search.

The small and incomplete patch attached gives at least the pointer
to a user looking for these options.
Although incomplete (sorry, I don't grok roff) to add comments about
the option, this should be enough to fix eventual issues.
Proposed explanation:
dns-nameservers - allows to associate a nameserver to the link; this
will be added to /etc/resolv.conf under a "nameserver" entry
dns-search - allows to add a "search" entry to /etc/resolv.conf,
when the interface is up
Note: I haven't found the right way to add more than one nameserver
associated to a certain interface.
