I provided a roles/resolv file to do exactly that, but IMHO properly...
We could then allow a special (and default) value "host" for the
nameserver option, that would just call the roles script...

I'll add this patch to my tree immediatly if you agree.

Cheers.

PS: I respectfully disagree with you on the fact that we should mofidy
the guest when unless told so : IMHO, we should NOT modify the guest
unless asked (explicitly or at a pinch implicitly) to do so in the
config file !
