    Using brute force to prevent /etc/resolv.conf from being changed (with a
    suggested chmod or chflags) is, imho, not the way. Play by the book, and put
    something like this in /etc/resolv.conf:

    prepend domain-name "my.nameserver.net ";
    prepend domain-name-servers 194.0.0.1;
    supersede domain-name "my.nameserver.net "

    The trailing spaces ARE intentional. That worked like a charm for me, and
    will "survive" a reboot. Substitute your own ISP, of course.
