name_servers and name_servers_append is a space separated list of
nameserver.
Ahh, okay, that works. Might be worth mentioning in the manpage though.
Maybe an example wouldn't be too bad either

You can specify multiple nameservers in name_servers and/or
name_servers_append.
Of course, once 1) is solved 2) is redundant.

It is strange to me. If you specify name_servers, it should be
prepended to the nameserver list. I've just tried name_servers, and
it did the job as expected, here.
Hmm, not sure what happened last time here, but I've tried it now with a
single nameserver, a space separated list of nameservers and a mix of
name_servers and name_servers_append entries and it worked perfectly.
It also eliminated duplicate entries in name_servers and
name_servers_append, preferring the one in name_servers. Again, maybe
worthwhile mentioning in the manpage.
mrossi> How do I get my 3 manual DNS entries properly into my resolv.conf ?
Please specify your 3 servers as space separated list in name_servers
or name_servers_append.
Yes, got it. All good! Thanks to all!
