add this to your /etc/conf.d/net



dns_servers_ESSID=( "192.168.0.1" "192.168.0.2" )
dns_domain_ESSID="some.domain"
dns_search_ESSID="search.this.domain search.that.domain"

you can also swap-out ESSID for eth0/wlan0 respectivly if they settings differ.

This way, when you start the rspective device, /etc/resolv.conf will
get the right settings.
