Certainly that condition exists on my system 
and certainly it isn't from me editing resolv.conf.  
This is the entire content of /etc/resolv.conf.
 
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.0.1

Given the number of cooks [softwares] in the 
kitchen [system], I can only guess how the 
spice ["nameserver 127.0.0.1"] came to be in 
the soup [network configuration].

In any case, the number [ip address] for 
directory assistance [dns of the ISP] is 
somewhere in the kitchen [system].  According 
to my understanding, this number was brought 
by a well known delivery service [dhcp3-client].

Nobody can suggest where to read the extant 
number [ip address] for directory assistance 
[dns of the ISP]?

Pardon the analogy [humour].

Thanks,        ... Peter E.
