Description: nameserver information handler
Resolvconf is a framework for keeping track of the system's
information about currently available nameservers. It sets
itself up as the intermediary between programs that supply
nameserver information and programs that use nameserver
information. Examples of programs that supply nameserver
information are: ifupdown, DHCP clients, the PPP daemon and
local nameservers. Examples of programs that use this
information are: DNS caches, resolver libraries and the
programs that use them.

I use dhcp3-client which works with resolvconf, and also does dynamic
DNS. I don't know about the older (?) dhcp-client.
Neither of which would have solved your, wrong DNS address, though.
