I decided to try running dhclient on my laptop in a different environment
today.  I was disturbed to discover that dhclient appears to have
oblitterated my old /etc/resolv.conf (rather blindly), and did not restore
it after I did a ``dhclient -r''.

Is this an intended feature, or was it just that no one considered that
someone might sometimes use DHCP and sometimes use a static config?
