Ubuntu says to set a static ip in 'interfaces' (and, I thought that 
stopped DHCP)

https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html#ip-addressing
https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html#name-resolution

I'm not getting any errors.  I'm not sure I need to make a change?

The only instances of "peerdns" seem to be related to 'pppd' (which 
we're not using)

adam at eagle:/$ sudo grep "peerdns" -r /etc
/etc/ppp/peers/provider:usepeerdns
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/0000usepeerdns:# this variable is only set if the 
usepeerdns pppd option is being used
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/0dns-up:# conjunction with pppd's usepeerdns option it 
also handles dynamic dns.
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/0dns-up:# DNS1 and DNS2 are variables exported by pppd 
when using 'usepeerdns'.
/etc/init.d/pppd-dns:[ -x /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/0000usepeerdns ] \
/etc/init.d/pppd-dns:   && exec /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/0000usepeerdns
