Actually I think it says the 9th.

If you edit your interface config file with the line:

PEERDNS=YES

You should get the resolv.conf file updated every time you connect to
your provider (assuming you're on DHCP). It's just the same as you would
specify the DNS or set it to be specified automatically in Windows (This
does answer your question right?). 

Here's a help page for RH9 interface settings - they should still be
applicable to FC2:
