I don't think that you can get it done *BEFORE* net.eth0 is run.
Gentoo needs to run net.eth0 to set up the network connection. Then it
has to query ifconfig to find out what the situation is. I think what
you need is to correct resolv.conf if you are at the office. The
official Gentoo way to do this would be an init script. I recommend the
following...
1) If "local" is not already in the default runlevel, execute...
etc-update add local default
2) In /etc/conf.d/local.start add the following lines
if ifconfig eth0 | grep 194\.199\.136\.151 > /dev/null ; then
cp /etc/resolv.conf.fac /etc/resolv.conf
fi
*IMPORTANT*. You must *COPY* /etc/resolv.conf.fac. If you symlink it
to /etc/resolv.conf, then the next time dhcp overwrites /etc/resolv.conf
it will be overwriting /etc/resolv.conf.fac
