Cast aside that evil chattr command! Put "PEERDNS=no" in your interface
config file instead (e.g. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0) -
that's the "proper" way to ensure you don't get told to use "bad" DNS
servers by a DHCP server. Using that chattr command could lead to great
annoyance if you ever want to take the machine elsewhere and you've
forgotten about the chattr'd file.
