Firewall and DNS caching without NetworkManager

Hello all,

I've just installed Fedora 18 X86-64.  I disabled and uninstalled
networkmanager and use the standard networking stuff which seems to
use dhclient. I'm using a standard ethernet connection.

So I need to do two things.  Feel free to tell me to RTFM if you can
provide a link!

1.  How do I enable pre-pending of nameservers?  I want to use dnsmasq
to cache DNS requests so I need to add 127.0.0.1 to the top of
resolv.conf.  Google searchs take me to the Arch Wiki.  I can't seem to
find a dhclient.conf file anywhere in /etc.

2.  How do I assign a zone in firewalld to my connection?  I want to be
able to open ports for bittorrent and XMPP jingle voice/video.  The
firewalld wiki on the Fedora site doesn't seem to be able to answer my
question.

thanks in advance,

Ananda Samaddar
