Thanks for the reply, Dave.  That information will surely be useful in
the future.  :-D

Might it be good to have a commented-out line in the
generated /etc/resolv.conf stating something to that effect?  I think it
would be a good general rule to do this with any editable file in /etc/
(Editable Text Configuration...) that would normally be clobbered by
such a thing after an edit.  Any thoughts on that?
