Ahh, .. does nobody use WiFi? Selecting a different connection
automatically rewrited resolv.conf based on the connection profile and
DHCP information from the router.

That would be common across the board.

Interesting, .. have to check that out - thanks! I had not seen any
evidence they would actually be supported without an 'include' section in
resolv.conf, a la bash.bashrc.local.

It certainly would *IF* there were a way to set a persistant search domain
(hint, the subject <g>!).
