I need some processes to look elsewhere for DNS information from where the rest

We over-ride where the resolver looks for resolv.conf using an environment variable.
This would allow me to reset this to an application specific config file that
specifies a different server.
I like this idea, but don't you think the administrator might want
to be able to disable this functionnality for his users ?
Unless using a packet filter might suffice...
my thought would be that we specify a filename (default resolv.conf) and we look for it in /etc.
if is not there or not the right format, it doesn't work. Nor does it work if you are SUID.
i.e the admin will have to have set it up.
