You can force it by setting 'server' option in /etc/cobbler/settings (IIRC).

It appears there's no way to do that (at least in EL5). What I do is I set
IP, netmask, gateway, nameservers and hostname using the network line in ks,
and I set search and domain in resolv.conf with this in a %pre script:
echo domain $name_servers_search[0] >> /etc/resolv.conf
echo search $str.join(' ', $name_servers_search) >> /etc/resolv.conf
(note I use $name_servers_search variable here which I set using cobbler)
I also have something similar in a %post script as I don't think
/etc/resolv.conf is getting copied into new sysroot (had some problems with
that).
