The resolvconf package acts like a refferee when different packages want
to change /etc/resolv.conf at different times. It notes what each
package tries to do so that when the package undoes what it thought it
did, you're left with an accurate resolv.conf file.
My Etch installer put the resolvconf hook already in
/etc/network/interfaces. Thus when eth0 comes it, the nameserver gets
posted correctly:
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.3
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf
# package if installed
dns-nameservers 192.168.1.3
Here, 192.168.1.3 is my firewall 486 box.
Between the two, this works. I didn't have to tweak anything after the
install.
