If you are using a combined solution, using both DHCP and static configuration, I suggest hacking your /etc/network/interfaces to echo the static DNS-settings to /etc/resolv.conf. Something like this: iface eth0 inet dhcp post-up "echo -e 'search\nnameserver ip.of.pri.dns\nnameserver ip.of.sec.dns' > /etc/resolv.conf" This isn't the best advise, I'm sure. But I *guess* it does the trick. However, it should be noted that I never tested it with dhcpcd; only dhclient. Regards, Anders Breindahl.
