[Voyage-linux] Correct way to get persistant nameserver info across reboots

[ka1ifq, Mike]

Here is the final draft that is working, in case anybody else needs the 
info.
I had dns-nameserver = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx instead of dns-nameservers 
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
          address 10.128.128.222
          netmask 255.255.255.0
#       network 10.128.128.0
          gateway 10.128.128.1
#       dns-nameservers  68.94.156.1
          dns-nameservers  68.94.157.1
