namebench should search dhcp lease data for alternate servers to test #140

If a user has already switched DNS servers, we should be able to get the 
originally assigned DNS servers from their lease files if they differ.

Ubuntu:

% grep "domain-name-servers" /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases | sort -u 

How to do so on Mac OS X or Windows remains to be seen.

Windows provides this information too (at least under Windows 7):

NetBT\Parameters\Interfaces\Tcpip_{xxx}\DhcpNameServerList

Mac OS X provides this information by:

% ipconfig getpacket en1
