It works for me (DN2500 on domain ring, BSD4.3).  In /etc/rc.local I have:

if [ -f /etc/nmconfig ]; then
	/etc/nmconfig -h hostent_bind  
fi

And my entire /etc/resolv.conf file looks like:

domain		carleton.ca
nameserver	134.117.1.11
nameserver	134.117.1.34
nameserver	134.117.1.3

Of course, the nameservers listed are at or near Carleton University
(and none are on the Domain ring).

Did you reboot after making the changes?
