My own personal workaround for this noissome behavior has been to comment out "make resolv.conf" from the /sbin/dhclient-script, fill out the /etc/resolve.config file as I was expecting it, and rebooting. (Rebooting only necessary to make "make resolv.conf" inactive) Is there a workaround (or a fix for this kludge) or am I missing something obvious?
