The Idea is great, it would solve the long outstanding dispute between me (pppoeconf) and pppconfig maintainer. Please, would you consider to add another feature: priorising some entries depending on the source. That means: pppoeconf's and pppconfig's script run the tool with parameter "--class dialup", dhcp clients with "--class dynamic" and the default class would be static. In some config file, the user defines that "dialup" gets priority one, "dynamic" two and static three (for example), and resolvconf merges the existing dns entries in the appropriate order. Please also note that it would (IMHO) be a good idea to manage the "search" list with a similar priority table, so the provider's domain is appended or prepended (as user wishes it).
