Install the resolvconf package. This will allow you to manually enter
the nameserver configuration in /etc/network/interfaces. I can't give an
example now, but it is quite straight forward. Just read man resolvconf.
Alternatively, you could do something like
iface eth0 inet manual
up pump -i $IFACE --no-dns
down pump -i $IFACE -r
I don't know if it works, just got inspired by the last example in
/usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz
Personally I would prefer the first method (even if the second really
worked :-) )
Greetings,
