  1. NetworkManager uses dhclient for DHCP leases, and you would be better off using dhclient hooks to change /etc/resolv.conf

    You're probably running dhcp3-client on Ubuntu, I think it's the default with 8.10 and 9.04 at least.

    If you are, your configuration file is in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf

    You can specify, per-interface modifications to /etc/resolv.conf

    e.g.

    interface "wlan0" {
    supersede domain-name "int.domain.com domain.com";
}

    That will generate an /etc/resolv.conf with:

    domain int.domain.com
search int.domain.com domain.com

    man 5 dhclient.conf for more info.
