Thanks for the heads up on the docs.  I tried running the reconfigure 
but there is an error;

update-rc.d: warning: resolvconf stop runlevel arguments (none) do not 
match LSB Default-Stop values (0 6)

It did however put the DNS server addresses into my resolv.conf but if I 
restart the machine I don't have any DNS resolution until I do an ifdown 
and ifup, then it works fine.

Any more insights would be greatly appreciated.

I'm really not sure why you would want this automatic resolvconf in a 
server installation.  Maybe I should just uninstall it.

Thanks,
