OK, a few points of order: - The dhcp client *WILL* overwrite your /etc/resolv.conf file...that's what it's *supposed* to do. When you think about it, the dhcp client has no idea you're getting a static IP assigned, and don't want name resolution configuration changed unless you explicitly tell it. - You can explicitly append, pre-pend, and replace information from the dhcp server using entries in /etc/dhclient.conf...that's why it's there. - If you assign CONFIG_DNS=YES in /etc/network.conf, *AND* you're running dhclient, you have two pieces of software trying to update the same file...you should expect problems. I suggest setting CONFIG_DNS=NO in network.conf if you're running dhclient, and this is how my disk images are configured. - While it would be possible to remove the code (or over-ride the specific procedure) that writes /etc/resolv.conf, I would advise against taking this sort of approach...using the built-in hooks for defining specific settings (/etc/dhclient.conf) is the "approved" way to do this, and will be easier to understand/maintain/upgrade in the future.
