If you don’t want /etc/resolv.conf do be overwritten by dhcpd each time your IP is renewed just create a

/etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks

script (+x)

with

#!/bin/sh

function make_resolv_conf {
echo “Doing nothing to resolv.conf”
}

Your resolv.conf will not be modified anymore by dhcpd.

The problem with your solution is everytimg you renew DHCP it will re-write your /etc/resolv.conf. Here is a good article I found to setup local DNS cache that has been working great for me.
