I've always run servers that have bind with resolv.conf as:

     search example.com
     nameserver 127.0.0.1

so, as a dynamic configured ip on a cable modem, this server has:

     'supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;'

in /etc/dhclient.conf. But I've recently found that changing that from
supersede to prepend can be useful in other situations. I can do that
here also.

That's a good tip. There are pieces of it that I like better than my
solution of an @reboot cron job.

Thanks!
