Yep, that is what I want.  DHCP just keeps overriding my file.

I kept playing with this because I did it once before and knew it could 
be done.  I did finally figure out how to get it to work.  It appears 
the syntax has changed a little bit.  This is what I ended up with after 
some trial and error, maybe a little tooth pulling too.  ;-)  This is my 
net file:

modules="dhcpcd"
config_eth2="dhcp"
dhcp_eth2="nodns"
dns_servers_eth2="8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"

Now I get this in resolv.conf:

root@smoker / # cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by net-scripts for interface eth2
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

root@smoker / #

So, it's working now.  It's not quite the same config as last time but 
it works.

Thanks.
