I understand why Raspbian uses dhcpcd, it makes it easier for them, but 
I see no good reason to use it on something that should have a fixed 
ipaddress.

The best way would be to find whatever is rewriting /etc/resolv.conf 
(dnsmasq ?) and stop it.

Problem is, both names are valid, the red-hat distros use 'named' and 
Debian distros use 'bind', but I will see if I can make this easier to 
understand ;-)

Thanks for pointing these out.

Thanks, but please be aware that we try to be distro neutral.
