    "resolv.conf" being overwritten is by design.
    In your case it's a problem with misconfigured DSL modem that is the
    root of your problems.
    You can't reconfigure it to send valid information, since you don't
    have administrative access, so this solution is unavailable.
    That alternative solution I was suggesting is exactly what you may
    call "tidy".
    If you implement it, your system will still receive invalid DNS IP
    address from DSL modem, but it will be "superseded" by valid IP
    addresses taken from "dhclient.conf", so when "resolv.conf" will be
    created it will contain valid DNS IP addresses you want.
