Not necessarily.  All resolv.conf says is which nameservers to
use and which domain to append to hostnames, when an FQDN must be
constructed.  In a single-user / single computer situation, one
may keep the same nameservers with no side-effect, since most
ISPs don't restrict outside access to their nameservers.
