Recent changes make NetworkManager talk to named via dbus, if you're
using the named+dbus patches in Fedora Core's bind package.  If you're
not, then NetworkManager will fall back to writing out /etc/resolv.conf.

Use of dhcdbd is a hard requirement, so you've got to have it, or NM
won't work.

For either of these, you should start both at startup
with /sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 <service> on.
