Dale,
if I understood correctly, you want to set the contents of
/etc/resolv.conf and don't want dhcp to overwrite ir. Right?

Yep, that is what I want.  DHCP just keeps overriding my file.

modules="dhcpcd"
config_eth2="dhcp"
dns_servers_eth2="nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4"

As you can see I need it set to 8.8.8.8 but it doesn't seem to see my
setting.  After I restart my network, it updates resolv.conf to this:

I don't know about dhcpcd, but I'm using dhclient, and it works like this:
$cat /etc/resolv.conf
config_eth0=("dhcp")
modules_eth0=("dhclient")
dhcp_eth0="nodns"

I'm not sure the last line is necessary.
Then:

$ cat /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
append option domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1

Substitute 127.0.0.1 by 8.8.8.8

I kept playing with this because I did it once before and knew it could be done. I did finally figure out how to get it to work. It appears the syntax has changed a little bit. This is what I ended up with after some trial and error, maybe a little tooth pulling too. ;-) This is my net file:

modules="dhcpcd"
config_eth2="dhcp"
dhcp_eth2="nodns"
dns_servers_eth2="8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"

Now I get this in resolv.conf:

r...@smoker / # cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by net-scripts for interface eth2
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

r...@smoker / #

So, it's working now. It's not quite the same config as last time but it works.

Thanks.
