Hm, well... that's why it doesn't work. There is no fallback when
/etc/resolv.conf can't be found.

Right... but this isn't practical to do on a nomad laptop, where the DNS
server usually comes with the DHCP lease.

Indeed it does. `M-! nslookup www.gnus.org' right now gives me the output:
Non-authoritative answer:^M
Server: home.lan
Address: 10.0.0.138
Name: www.gnus.org
Address: 66.135.33.159
(sanitized CR character in the above outout)
The DNS server is that of the ADSL router of the home LAN I'm connected
to.
I guess a fallback to dns-parse-resolv-conf would be to run nslookup and
parse the output...? Of course, then the function should be renamed to
reflect what it's doing.
E.g. dns-parse-resolv-conf-or-parse-nslookup-output or something...?
