PATCH: Multiple Nameservers with IP autoconfig

Hi,

I needed more than one nameserver with IP autoconfig from /proc/net/pnp,
so I wrote this patch. I'm using this patch quite a while with 2.4.17 & 2.4.18,
it also applies clean to 2.4.19. Please have a look at it, and if my copy&paste
didn't completely break it this should be ready for the main kernel tree.

Regards,

Josef Siemes
