Huh.  Cool.  I didn't know how that was supposed to work.  I'll have
to try that.  I can dick around with hiding or restoring
/etc/resolve.conf  as needed.

I dislike the idea that we should all just use google's open DNS
server.  I've also noted tha some wi-fi access points have a feature
that points all DNS requests back to the manufacturer of the wireless
router.  I think that's pretty wierd but I haven't had occasion to
look at it closely.
