This is always confusing. The rules differ depending on whether you are
dialup only or dialup and lan.

RESOLV does get rewritten at connect time. However, the content of RESOLV
gets saved as RESOLV.LAN for the duration of the connection.

To be really safe, you have to backup all three:

RESOLV
RESOLV.LAN
RESOLV2

After a restore, it's usually the right thing to do to replace RESOLV with
RESOLV.LAN, if it exists.

Since I never can keep the search order correct, I copy RESOLV2 to RESOLV
whenever RESOLV2 is modified.
