That's what I'd do, assuming you don't have your own resolver (like
unbound) on your computer or a computer on your LAN. And then I'd do
the following:

chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

Doing that prevents wicd or anyone else from modifying
your /etc/resolv.conf.

Rick has a less sledgehammer way of preventing wicd messing at
http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Network_Other/resolvconf.html , but I just
weld it shut with the chattr command.

I don't have ahavi, and am not seeming to be suffering from it. You
know who the author of ahavi is, don't you?
