We have a number of internal machines which run a local nameserver. It's 
primarily a relay for the wider net but does a few other things as well. 
So DHCP is configured to specify 127.0.0.1 as the nameserver address for 
these machines.

Of course, that is also what kickstart is told when it connects and 
begins operation. But, of course, kickstart is not running a local 
nameserver. This means that name resolution for the "repo" lines in the 
kickstart file doesn't work and installations fail.

The only workaround I've found is to use IP addresses in the "repo" 
lines, not the associated names. But this isn't ideal: addresses can 
change and sites using multiple addresses can't be properly matched.

Is there a way I can tell kickstart not to use the resolver specified by 
DHCP but instead use one that I specify in the kickstart file?
