It done by a pkg called resolvconf...   which, one you get things right, is not a bad 
thang......

If you put your nameserver addresses into  /etc/network/interfaces, it will pick 
them up and build your resolv.conf.

For one thing, in the later versions, /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink to 
../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf  but that's minor.

You also put your search domains into /etc/network/interfaces  and you'll be set.

Here is my /etc/network/interfaces  on  13.04:
=======================
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

auto eth0   
iface eth0 inet static    
address 192.168.0.3      
netmask 255.255.255.0    
gateway 192.168.0.2    
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.2 216.245.224.4 216.245.225.142
dns-domain bmarsh.org     
dns-search bmarsh.org 
==================================

Hope this helps....
