Hello Folks,

It would help if the man page resolver(5) or resolv.conf(5) contains information 
about how to ensure the contents of /etc/resolv.conf gets either updated or not 
modified when dhcp is used.

This request stems from the function add_new_resolv_conf() in the script 
/sbin/dhclient-script that handles the either the update or modification of 
/etc/resolv.conf.

It will be helpful to indicate that the contents of /etc/resolv.conf is also 
influenced by the keywords in /etc/dhclient.conf, a good reference is the 
example indicated in dhclient.conf(5).

With regards,
