This well-known problem also has a somewhat known solution, a piece of
software called resolvconf . (Note to the assembled: When naming a
piece of software, unless your specific aim is for it to remain obscure,
make sure you choose a name people will be able to find easily using
Web search engines.)

FreeBSD has an implementation of resolvconf ('openresolv') by Roy Marples,
and Debian has one by Thomas Hood.

Essentially, resolvconf _manages_ /etc/resolv.conf via templating.

There is also the impatient-caveman-sysadmin solution (not necessarily
recommended, but it does work!).

# vi /etc/resolv.conf          #Set it the way you want it.
# chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf   #And _stay_ that way, dammit.
