Re: [PATCH] Custom resolv.conf

   This only means the handling of this file in your system leaves a
   lot to wish for.  The file should be rewritten/updated
   automatically when you connect to a different network.

Sure, but with a envar for resolv.conf you would just need to change
that instead of "updating/rewritting" resolv.conf (assuming we have
static nameservers etc).

Also, one might as a user (no idea if that is or should be possible)
to use a different nameserver then the one that is systemwide.  For
whatever reason.


But anyway, I don't care much about this.  I haven't had the need to
do anything similar, ever.


Cheers.
