in fact the nameservers in resolv.conf are the ones set by cobbler not 
the ones provided by dhcp

to try to explain my 'issue' - i am trying to set certain OS specific 
things based on which dc the machine is sitting in and i can work this 
out by its hostname. This stuff happens in the post of the ks so thats 
why i am trying to manipulate the nameservers like this rather than 
using the ones offered by cobbler.

which brings me onto another point which i am sure cobbler can solve but 
i am not sure of what 'flag' to use or similar but the issue is........

lets say i have 100 different types of machine that are fundamentally 
the _same_ bar the application they run. They would all have as near as 
damn it the same profile but rather than having 100 profiles with 100 
different kickstarts where the only difference is a single like in the 
packages section is there a more clever way to solve that issue?

if there is then i could also expand this to solve this issue of DNS as 
i am also needing to use a similar trick to solve mail relays, ntp 
servers etc etc

thanks
