So why does /etc/conf.d.net.example state

# For configuring system specifics such as domain, dns, ntp and nis servers
# It's rare that you would need todo this, but you can anyway.
# This is most benefit to wireless users who don't use DHCP so they can change
# their configs based on ESSID. See wireless.example for more details

This implies that using /etc/conf.d/net to set domain name, dns and
ntp parameters should be the exception rather than the norm. That
'fixed' (not portable) systems with wired connections would not use
/etc/conf.d/net to set these parameters.
