What's this all about?
Generally, if you are using a different Domain Name Server (DNS) than that provided by your ISP, or you are using the likes of Google's nameservers from your Google account you will find that your DNS or other non-standard nameserver addresses will, after you have set them up, get lost on reboot as /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten during the boot process.
How do we solve this problem?
We can input our settings to the /etc/resolv.conf.head file. If this file does not exist then create it. The contents of /etc/resolv.conf.head get sent to the top of /etc/resolv.conf during the boot process.
Examples please?
To use the Google nameservers associated with your Google account, you would add the following to /etc/resolvconf.conf
# Google nameservers nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4
You would add any DNS entries that you had the need to. So those that want to use OpenDNS for example you would add the following:
# OpenDNS servers nameserver 208.67.222.222 nameserver 208.67.220.220
