/etc/resolv.conf is not symlinked on every distro, and is not even unique to

FWIW, when my portables (all running Slackware) connect to someone's wifi
hot spot (hotel, coffee shop, etc.) /etc/resolv.conf is always overwritten
to fit their server's DNS settings. Each of my portables contains a copy of
the default file named /etc/resolv.conf.office which is copied to
/etc/resolv.conf when I return. This allows me to use the portables on the
LAN (including accessing the 'Net). It's worked for years.
