Not sure that just copying /etc/resolv.conf wholesale without sanity checking is such a good idea... folks on dynamic IP's (PPPoE and cable, for instance) may have ISPs who assign DNS service based on which IP address the client gets. A better idea may be to append a couple of the OpenNIC (or other 3rd party DNS service) Tier 2 DNS servers to /var/www/etc/resolv.conf or /v/w/e/r.c.tail.
