Results for 12.04 machine are:
$ ls -l /etc/resolv.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Apr 30 17:39 /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN

On another 10.04 machine I get a file, and its contents have our DNS servers listed.

But if resolv.conf is missing this, and we don't have any dns-nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces, then how is the machine getting DNS later when everything seems normal?
