name_servers and name_servers_append is a space separated list of
nameserver.

You can specify multiple nameservers in name_servers and/or
name_servers_append.

It is strange to me. If you specify name_servers, it should be
prepended to the nameserver list. I've just tried name_servers, and
it did the job as expected, here.
mrossi> How do I get my 3 manual DNS entries properly into my resolv.conf ?
Please specify your 3 servers as space separated list in name_servers
or name_servers_append.
Sincerely,
