resolv.conf is overwritten by dhclient, whether the interface is is
NM-managed or not, so your "PEERDNS=no" solution will work for the OP.
That seems to be working for the moment, but there's an element of magic
in it that makes me nervous. The default named.conf file is set up as a
simple cacheing nameserver for local queries, but where does named do
its recursive lookups if not from the DHCP service?
