 sample file so i can use ?

Replace the IP numbers with those of your ISP's nameservers.

Sure,

search localdomain
nameserver 111.222.333.444
nameserver 111.222.333.445

Of course, there's always the manual page resolv.conf(5)

basically you don't have a resolv.conf if you don't specify one...
there are generally two sections in a resolv.conf file :
- the domain(s) you search into for non fully qualified names :
search domain1 domain2 ...
- the nameserver(s) you use
nameserver server1
nameserver server2

If you have more specific needs, you should read man resolv.conf, rather 
short and well explained :o)

it sounds like you live in the luxury of a better-than-dialup situation. 
essentially, every dialup relies on resolv.conf for dns resolution.

yes of course - if you don't setup dns it will be difficult to get a name 
resolution :o)
but if you don't define/write a resolv.conf file, it doesn't exist... and it 
depends on your configuration/provider... that's what I wanted to say, sorry 
if my English is not so good ;o) (but you were right, I do not use dial-up 
;o) )

Most people do not need this line.

Yes.
