No the dhcp client puts the DNS nameserver lines in, but they don't
always work.  There's another issue on my box somehow that later,
NetworkManager overwrites it with old DNS nameserver line somehow, but
now I realized why my connectivity breaks I stop NetworkManager for the
duration and that solves it.

Dread to think of it.
