The setting is PEERDNS in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth? file. If PEERDNS is set to "yes" then the resolv.conf file will be rewritten on every reboot. If set to "no" then the resolv.conf should not change. BTW, I have not read the OP's original post and basing my answer just on the subject line. Phil
