Hummm... I actually do have /etc/resolv.conf. It is odd that I also run BIND but only in a caching mode. My resolve.conf does not point to my box as being a choice for one of the name services, but it still uses server 0.0.0.0 (mybox) as the name server.
Very odd, but still not my problem. It was link that in Hamm, and I believe Bo too. So if resolve.conf fixes your problem... what do you have in resolve.conf, that I do not have? What are the permissions? I still think it is a bug. Do you have a bug-track number for it?
