Hi,
two usual culprits are network-manager and/or dhclient.
For network manager add in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [main] section;

dns=none

for dhclient create a file "/etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/nodnsupdate"
with content:

#!/bin/sh
make_resolv_conf(){
        :
}



Hope this helps.

Ciao,
Tito
