I've had this happen to me when I switch between a hard-wired ethernet connection and a dial-up PPP connection. When on the road and using a dial-up connection, I enter ifdown eth0 pon Once the ppp connection comes up, /etc/resolv.conf has changed to identify the DNS servers supplied by the dial-up ISP, which are different than the DNS servers supplied via DHCP over my ethernet cable modem connection at home. This may not be your exact situation, but maybe it will give you some ideas. Perhaps switching between hard-wired ethernet and wireless could do something similar? I don't know. -- .''`.
