You can specify multiple nameservers in name_servers and/or name_servers_append. mrossi> 3) If I read the description for name_servers in resolvconf.conf(5), I mrossi> understand that this tag prepends the nameserver to my list.

I've just tried name_servers, and it did the job as expected, here. mrossi> How do I get my 3 manual DNS entries properly into my resolv.conf ? Please specify your 3 servers as space separated list in name_servers or name_servers_append.
