dhclient and your resolv.conf
I use a custom search domain (so I don't have to type out web-ster.com) to save me a lot of typing. The problem is that everytime I DHCP (or renew) it overwrites my /etc/resolv.conf with whatever the DHCP options are. I finally found a way to append on the search domain in Fedora. Simply create a file /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks file with these contents
echo "search web-ster.com" >> /etc/resolv.conf

Or you can fix it properly by editing dhclient.conf and adding a supersede or prepend statement.
man 5 dhclient.conf ftw
jbeez sucks
