Possibly I missed something, but I could not find a way to
get dhcpcd *itself* to automagically update resolv.conf.
However, it *does* record the assigned DNS server IP
address in /etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-ethx.info, and it also
invokes a script when it detects changes, so I just have
that script rewrite resolv.conf with the new DNS address.
