	This didn't get either DNS server for me.  I copied them from an OS X 
system that was directly connected, into resolv.conf.

	I'll try messing around with it and look at the code.  I'll send-pr.
	Side note.  pppoe wasn't working consistently for me in 1.6.  It 
seemed to be a problem with the MTU setting.  Some pages weren't 
displaying and others were.  1.6.1 fixed the problem and I no longer 
have to use the rp-pppoe package for pppoe.  I haven't looked at the 
code to see where the fix was, or if it was just network strangeness at 
my end.
