[ale] Debian erasing resolv.conf

[Jim Popovitch]

One more passing thought on this....

Are you using static settings in /etc/resolv.conf?  If so, check to see
if dhclient (DHCP) is running.  If you need dhclient to pull an IP from
your provider, then edit /etc/dhclient.conf and force it to use your
static nameservers rather than updating them.
