You may want to read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-9.42.2/sysconfig.txt
- search for PEERDNS.

Thanks Mikkel but I don't think this works. In the ifcfg settings if
you specify a DNS server then the network is assumed to have static
DNS. So if I put DNS1=127.0.0.1 in the the ifcfg-em1 file all I get in
resolv.conf is that nameserver and not the one supplied by my router
underneath.
