as far as I've heard the patch works okay.. If you have experienced any
problems please let me know _now_, before I merge the branch.

Apparently the problem Simon has here is, that his resolv.conf is
changed _after_ collectd has been started. As far as I know this is the
libc's business and I am not to fiddle with it. I. e. it's the libc's
responsibility to reread the file when it changes.

Has anyone any idea how Simon's problem could be resolved? I for one am
out of ideas.
