	PHCO_24637:
	SR:8606201556 DTS:JAGad70732
	SR:8606200352 DTS:JAGad69533
	  When the 10.20 system boots up and there is no dhcp server
	or there is no DHCP data for DNS, /etc/resolv.conf gets
	corrupted. The resolv.conf file has only one word in it
	which is "domain".

Defect Description:
	PHCO_24637:
	SR:8606201556 DTS:JAGad70732
	SR:8606200352 DTS:JAGad69533
	 In 10.20 the DHCP_ENABLE variable in
	/etc/rc.config.d/netconf is set to 1 (enabled) by default.
	When the system boots up and /sbin/auto_parms calls
	dhcpdb2conf -a, if there is no DHCP server or there is no
	DHCP data for DNS, /etc/resolv.conf will be corrupted by
	dhcpdb2conf and data will be lost.
