This is an ubuntu 10.04 server (as mentioned) and I can't find the
file you are referring to.

Pretty sure I've done that already. I assume you're referring to
/etc/network/interfaces
This is why /etc/init.d/networking restart after bootup works, because
it actually is (or at least appears to be) configured correctly (see
below).
Also, ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 does the same "fixup" job for my
pursposes (only have one eth device).
So somehow it is just the bootup scenario where this server fails to
properly configure itself with the DNS servers as configured by me.
The configuration is really simple as far as I can tell, which is why
I'm thinking may be there's some new init-fu which I am currently
unaware of...
Any Ubuntu init-fu gurus around?
