Just a quick tip:

For those using DHCP clients, you will proably find that on reboots that your resolv.conf is overwritten. To stop this from happening you can:

For dhcpcd its easy, add the option -R to your command line:

Code:
# dhcpcd -R

You will need to find the configuration file to edit and add this option to (differs per distro).

For dhcp-client there is a couple of options, the best, imho is to create a file "/etc/dhcp-enter-hooks":

Code:
# /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks

make_resolv_conf() {

     echo "doing nothing to resolv.conf"

}

Thats it... have fun,..
