backup resolv.conf prior to upgrade

We have a search path listed in the resolv.conf file. It is helpful to locate any server without using fully qualified domain name. The current upgrade is rewriting the /etc/resolv.conf file and user's home directories every time. Due to which all the saved content is being replaced.

Please create an enhancement to preserve them.

    If we mention blue shield of CA search path in the /etc/resolv.conf then we will be able to reach BSC servers using the short name. But they are being overwritten after every upgrade. If you can't consider this request which benefits client, then please let us know an alternative solution.
