Well no, I didn't, but then again this was on Centos 7.3, it wasn't
anything to do with resolvconf, I couldn't create any new file in /etc.

I just wanted to test something so, more out of desperation than
anything, I tried the 'mkdir /etc1' trick and it worked.

You aamy or may not remember that I use Ubuntu server for my Samba DC's.


Not much time but, I remember that users need to add "dns-nameservers"
and "dns-search" (for local domain) parameters to the
/etc/network/interfaces file and that populates the /etc/resolv.conf
file properly. Tricky but documented somewhere on Ubuntu. 

(Yes, I know, not the Debian way but rather the Ubuntu way of doing
this.)

Yes, but you should be able to at least add something
to /etc/resolv.conf, even if it will be overwritten at a later point. I
couldn't even do this on Centos 7.3. I spent more time getting
resolv.conf to work the way I wanted it to, than doing what I wanted
to test ;-)

Yes, add it to the /etc/network/interfaces and Ubuntu does the rest. 

Once I discovered this worked, it went much easier and worked like a
charm, as they say . . however, they are.
