You need to configure resolvconf.

You should add your DNS entries to the following file:

/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base

In that way your entries will not change after reboots. See man 8
resolvconf for details.

(Please note resolvconf uses a symbolic link:

/etc$ ls -altr resolv.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2006-12-14 02:32 resolv.conf ->
                                           /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf

(Don't change the symbolic link.))

HTH,
