It's supposed to get switched back. When you dial in, resolv gets saved
as revolv.lan and gets rewritten with the DNS info for the dialup. This
matches what you are seeing so far. When you disconnect, resolv is
supposed to get restored. This is what's happening to you. I'm not sure
why it's not getting switched back for you, or why the TCP/IP
configuration is not showing the correct value. One thing that could
cause it is a reboot while dialed in. This will leave you with the dialup
values in resolv.

Nah, think I'll just watch.
