I think out of the box, if during the install you specify DHCP it will 
pick it up that way.  I've done it both ways, and never had a problem 
picking up DNS via DHCP - the catch being if this is your desire, you 
shouldn't make manual entries.

The default install will also punch a hole through the firewall script 
for any nameservers that get placed in /etc/resolv.conf
