thanks for your reply, nice idea that would do the job. What I am wodnering about: is this the default way how it's done in common linux distributions?

Nowadays in most common linux distributions network related stuff is managed by the "network-manager". The network manager modifies the file /etc/resolv.conf and fills it with whatever it thinks should be in there. In the past tools like dhclient and alike used to write to /etc/resolv.conf directly.
