I think you could just create a second resolv.conf (call it
resolv.conf.static or something like that).
To create a script to change it from dynamic to static, just use vi (or
whatever your favorite editor is) to create a file called switchdns.sh (or
whatever you want to call it). Remember to make the script file executable
after you create it.
The script should look something like this:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
DYNAMIC_FILE="/etc/resolv.dynamic"
STATIC_FILE="/etc/resolv.static"
RESOLV_FILE="/etc/resolv.conf"
if [ ! -f $STATIC_FILE ]; then
if [ ! -f $DYNAMIC_FILE ]; then
echo "Nothing to do"
else
mv $RESOLV_FILE $STATIC_FILE
mv $DYNAMIC_FILE $RESOLV_FILE
fi
else
mv $RESOLV_FILE $DYNAMIC_FILE
mv $STATIC_FILE $RESOLV_FILE
fi
