this may not be the case, in my machine this was the same way and I had to
search thru
the config files and find what was causing the rewrite, well it was the
dynamic ip
client which is invoked thru /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post
find
    cat $tr > /etc/resolv.conf
in this script and change it to something else like i did
    cat $tr > /etc/ppp/resolv.conf

and you should be off.
