If your ISP's nameservers dont restrict queries to their customers
(their ip block, rather) you can stick with the same resolv.conf
across ISPs.

In your fetchmailrc:
defaults
forcecr
poll pop.server1.com with proto pop3 no dns
user you with password foo
fetchall
poll imap.server2.com with proto imap no dns
user barfoo with password baz
fetchall
[.....]

Leave it as it is.
See http://www.hserus.net/mua.html for a little more (includes
links to a muttrc for multiple accounts)
