Why don't we just nuke w20ns and strawb from resolv.conf? It seems
like this would 1) solve this problem 2) make us more like athena
3)bring us in line with something that netops has expressed as what they
want for IS supported platforms and 4) only cause problems if named dies
which is probably somethign we want to know about anyhow.
