[Bug 1045616] Re: DHCP server handing out DNS server addresses but DHCP client does not write these to resolv.conf

I think I made a mistake....I'm not sure this is a bind, or virtualmin
problem as the problem was occurring pre BIND or virtualmin install.
Just to re-summarize the steps I originally took:

- Loaded Ubuntu 12.04
- Tried to install virtualmin
- couldn't resolve dns
- found a workaround by editing the /resolvconf.d/head file
- got virtualmin downloaded and installed

I opened this ticket because step three I should have had DNS resolution
and I didn't....this problem was there on a virgin base install of
Ubuntu 12 with no bind or virtualmin on the system and it was failing
resolving DNS because it was pulling and using the DNS servers from the
DHCP server.
