Well, he can just cat /etc/resolv.conf and see if that is the situation 
or not.

One dirty hack tip I have on that, if you decide you will be managing 
/etc/resolv.conf by hand and everything else can just butt out, edit it 
how you like and then

chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

will make everything else bounce off when it tries to mess it up for 
you.  use chattr -i ... to be able to edit it again.
