[OLUG] resolv.conf

[W. Mark Hagler]

The DHCP server (dhcpd) never overwrites resolv.conf.  It just answers
DHCP requests with the information you configure in dhcpd.conf.

The DHCP client daemon can overwrite resolv.conf with the information it
receives from the DHCP server... and this sounds like you've got a DHCP
client daemon running on the machine.  

RedHat uses a DHCP client called 'pump' for its networking scripts when
you tell it to use DHCP, or you may have the DHCP client from the ISC
package running, called 'dhcpcd'.    Just make sure neither one of these
daemons is running.
