dnsclient module

This module manages /etc/resolv.conf and its various options.

It makes use of Hiera (http://github.com/puppetlabs/hiera) and demonstrates a new design pattern in module development that allows for totally data driven code with no modifications to the module itself as a guiding principle.

Compatibility

This module has been tested to work on the following systems with Puppet v3 (with and without the future parser) and Puppet v4 with Ruby versions 1.8.7, 1.9.3, 2.0.0 and 2.1.0.
