What versions are you running? According to the docs on Debian 3.0
there is no such option for resolv.conf. There is in host.conf
though. I think it likely that no nameservers are read from your
incorrect resolv.conf at all.

Could it be that somewhere in your ip-up scripts your incorrect
resolv.conf gets replaced by a correct on?
