[UCI-Linux] fedora 8 + resolv.conf issues

[Josh Drummond]

Anyone else have problems with Fedora 8 overwriting their resolv.conf 
and nuking DNS settings?  I've tried numerous things from fedora and 
linux forums to no avail.  My ethernet device is configured with a 
static IP where 'automatically obtain dns information from provider' 
is not enabled.  When I first setup the box the DNS addresses would 
get overwritten with incorrect values every time I rebooted or logged 
out of the X11 session.  I even used 'chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf' so 
root couldn't overwrite it, which does prevent it from being 
overwritten however a /etc/resolv.conf.tmp is created (with incorrect 
values) and used instead.  PEERDNS=no is also set in my 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Anyone else have a similar issue or solution?

Thanks,
~Josh
