It sounds a little fishy to want that in the first place. If we wanted
inotify on /proc, it should work on all files I guess, but that's
an immense amount of work.
No, clearly inotify on all files in /proc is not the right thing to
do. But I'm writing support for "RDNSS in RA" -- IPv6 Router
Advertisement messages can include a DNS server specification, which
makes IPv6 completely autoconfiguring.
Side note for a second: glibc's resolver is really brain dead! Only
reading /etc/resolv.conf once at startup is clearly the Wrong Thing
for any sort of mobile application, where applications can easily
persist across suspend/resume into multiple networks. Glibc should
use inotify on /etc/resolv.conf and re-read the DNS configuration when
network-manager (say) updates it.
Back to kernel-land: in an IPv6 only world, it might make sense to
export a /proc file compatible with the format of /etc/resolv.conf,
with one DNS server address per line. If glibc uses/used inotify on
/etc/resolv.conf, then symlinking /etc/resolv.conf to
/proc/net/ipv6_dns allows glibc to get kernel DNS autoconfiguration
updates without a special case. [Assuming that glibc was smart enough
to watch the referenced file and not the symlink...]
A draft patch to implement /proc/net/ipv6_dns is attached, just to
make the discussion concrete. [Not guaranteed to apply cleanly, as I'm
not sure that gmail won't munge the whitespace. But it should be
readable at least.]

+ No 'search' option?
+
+ To-do list for kernel patch:
+ xxx: implement appropriate fill message to export the server list
+ via netlink.
+
+ xxx: implement inotify for /proc/net/ipv6_dns
+ - allows it to by symlinked from /etc/resolv.conf
+ - then glibc can reload resolver list at appropriate times.
+
+ To-do list for glibc nss-dns:
+ should use inotify to listen for changes to /etc/resolv.conf
+ should listen to changes in /proc/net/ipv6_dns (or netlink)
+
+ To-do list for network-manager:
+ listen to netlink messages, merge into /etc/resolv.conf
