Use VIM to perform text manipulation on file (like sed/awk)

Hi,

I am faced with the following issue. I have a resolve.conf file made
of sections like

#Company IT nameservers
nameserver 1.2.3.4
nameserver 1.2.3.5
nameserver 1.2.3.6

#Lab1 nameservers
#nameserver 10.1.2.3
#nameserver 10.1.2.4

#Lab2 nameservers
#nameserver 20.1.2.2

I want to use vim -c to do to tasks.
a- comment out a given section (say section that starts with comment
#Company IT )
b- uncomment a given section (say section that starts with comment
#Lab1)

In an interactive VIM session that would have been trivial (/
<pattern> then vap then s/^/#/ or s/^#// for example). However I want
to embed this in a bash script so it must be non interactive.
I can always use perl/python for this but I feel like its bringing a
cannon to kill the fly which I usually try to avoid.

I also have a bonus question to the unix gurus here - how can I
perform said tasks with sed or awk?- I'm using these tools frequently
but for much simpler, regexp oriented, tasks. This one requires more
semantic understanding of the input which is not trivial to achieve
with sed/awk. VIM however understand the notion of a paragraph (as
well as sentence and work) which make it perfect for the task.

TIA,
Yosi
