Yes, you are right. B has resolvconf, A does not. Also worth noting is that B has stopped dumping my nameserver 192.168.200.1 (after a few daily updates to testing). I will have to look into this resolvconf and see how resolv.conf.d fits into this. Thanks, I missed the glaring CLUE in your first response about resolvconf and just jumped to reading the man page for resolvconf. One more piece put together for me. -- Damon L.
