My only experience with anything resolvconf is at the beginning of
setting up each new debootstrap. These days, things are usually filled
in properly so I keep moving down the lists of things to do.
Am writing because I just tried a couple Internet searches. They keep
ending up at a different distribution's forum pages, and I'm just not
up for pointing anyone over that-a'way.
BUT... Based on wandering through those pages, it looks like maybe
some searches related to "how do I add a dns server" (without quotes)
might land something. One thing I saw that sounded good *to me* was a
reference about declaring DNS nameserver information in
/etc/network/interfaces. If yours is/are staying the same, it sounds
like a possible solution.
This is that point where I made a disclaimer not too long ago. You
have to be careful about not declaring something in there twice, and
unfortunately I've now forgotten what that something was.. On second
thought, it might have been the gateway declaration that causes a
problem if it's in that file more than once, even if it's the same
number..
