An issue I've noticed is that `sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf` doesn't
always fix the issue, because, as the program notes, a reboot is
sometimes required to actually refresh the cached dns info. This makes
using this on a laptop occasionally frustrating when traveling between
wifi hotspots or resuming after a suspend, because you either have to
manually edit your /etc/resolv.conf or reboot if you don't know your
local nameserver IP.

I've gotten in the habit of manually recording the
domain/search/nameserver fields of all the networks I typically used, so
that if resolvconf locks up, I can quickly fix it. Obviously, I
shouldn't need to do this.
