I am also.

After having a break, I decided to manually edit /etc/resolv.conf and then
chmod it to be unoverwrittable. But I had no chance to check this solution:
after booting my Gentoo computer once again, I have found out that now
/etc/resolv.conf was created *with* DNS servers IPs, and everything works
fine.

But it is *very* strange as I have *not* changed anything after my
previous reboot.
Absolutely.

Have I discovered a new Windows-like fix for a Gentoo system that can be called
"Just reboot it several times"?
