Description pdh 2000-05-23 09:10:01 UTC 
	/etc/dhclient-enter-hooks cannot be used to override build of
	/etc/resolv.conf. The "make_resolv_conf" function defined in
	/sbin/dhclient (and overridable in dhclient-enter-hooks) is
	never actually called; its code is actually duplicated instead
	instead of the function being called.

How-To-Repeat: 
	Define a new make_resolv_conf() in /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks
	(I wanted to add to search path) and watch it get ignored.

	Incidentally, would it make more sense to add a "local_search_path"
	or similar to rc.conf and modify dhclient-script to source rc.conf
	and use this variable? (Probably not, but I'll send a patch to do
	it if required.)

I'll only make this change in FreeBSD if you get the ISC to agree to the 
same exact change in the version 3 offering.
