I've just tried this, although the dns entries show up in
/var/log/messages, nothing updates /etc/resolv.conf.  I assume you
actually mean updates the actual file?

I can pull them out of the log file and build the resolv.conf file on
the fly, but I figured if it's supposed to be automagic, that would be
easier.

Anyone have any idea why I can't get to other subnets within the vpn
network??  I've tried a couple of things, but no luck.
