DNS forwarders

[Howard Chu <hyc highlandsun com>]

I run a caching named on my laptop, so I've configured my dhclient to write 
any received DNS server addresses into an /etc/named/forwarders.conf file 
instead of /etc/resolv.conf. However, NetworkManager still overwrites my 
resolv.conf with the remote DNS server addresses, even though I've changed my 
/etc/sysconfig/network options and told it not to update resolv.conf any more.
(I think I already restarted NetworkManager too, so it ought to have read the 
new config.)

It seems to me that updating resolv.conf is always the wrong thing to do 
anyway; my computer's FQDN is what it is, no matter what network I connect to. 
Why should my resolv.conf's domain and search list change just because I've 
moved to a different physical location?
