What in particular do you find intrusive?

With the current patch the admin (or packager) needs to add the
/etc/resolv.conf -> /run/systemd/network/resolv.conf symlink to get
any of this at all. If we assume this symlink is in place, I intend to
still make sure the admin has the full power by having the option of
statically configuring global and per-NIC nameservers (though these
will still apply globally due to how resolv.conf works). I'll also add
an option to opt-out of using the DNS servers received over DHCP.

Does that sound ok to you?

Cheers,

Tom
