Re: resolv.conf file is written over on reboot.

[jdaues <jdaues@unm.edu>]

I read the man page. it gives no hint as to the syntax.  I see nothing 
on the internets about this either. I can only guess maybe this:

domain 123.45.67.8 91.23.456.78
or
dns 123.45.67.8 91.23.456.78

Are either of these correct?
