but that wouldn't centralized, and could be trivially circumvented. I
have never needed it, but it is easy to imagine scenarios where the
mix of DHCP clients and servers installed in an enterprise would make
centralizing the rules at the dnscache far superior to attempting the
nightmarish maintenance /and enforcement/ of a standard extended
/etc/resolv.conf: Many DHCP servers simply don't have configuration
options for extended fields, and many DHCP clients simply ignore them,
and even when the capability is there, the configuration may be "easy
to get wrong."
