So you've gone out of your way to run a daemon but prevent it from working as configured, instead of just reconfiguring it to do what you need.

I have to go out of my way to *stop* NetworkManager from running and to configure a fixed IP address.

I have Network Manager and it is extremely simple to configure it to keep fixed DNS Servers as well as have static addresses for ethernet interfaces.

Unfortunately NetworkManager can't handle brief network outages without dropping the connection (RHBZ#1022954 comment 3). This isn't desirable for servers that have ethernet and fixed IP addresses.
