I am currently running FreeBSD-RELEASE 4.2 with a DSL connection (DHCP).  I 
also have natd configured and am running a Class C network at home with 
several Win/98 boxes (trying to get the kids to work with UNIX but they are 
still learning to type...).  I have configured named and run it with the 
"-d 1" option to verify it is working as well as used nslookup, dig, etc. 
to verify funcionality, everything checks out.  The trouble is, even if I 
delete /etc/resolve.conf, it is still created with "search 
vz.dsl.genuity.net, nameserver 4.2.2.1, etc".  Attempts to modify it result 
in recreation on subsequent restarts with the same information as above. 
 When nslookup is run, the default server is not my own, but rather my 
upstream provider.  This does not sound like a correct setup of DNS, as my 
system should not need this file, nor do I wish to use my providers name 
server.  I have a registered domain name and secondary DNS is setup as well 
(ns1.granitecanyon.com).  Have I done this correctly or does this sound 
like a buggy installation?  Here is some info:
network interfaces: xl0 (DHCP), ed0 (192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0)
gateway is enabled in rc.conf as well as defaultrouter="4.3.181.7"
