`resolvconf` only touches /etc/resolv.conf when it is installed/initialized. What it does to it is to replace it with a symlink. After that, it doesn't touch it any morel instead it only modifies the file that is the target of that symlink. So there's your answer: - rm /etc/resolv.conf - zile /etc/resolv.conf The only wrinkle left is that `resolvconf` will regularly check that /etc/resolv.conf is still a symlink and emit a warning if it is not (since it's usually the result of a mistake). To silence this warning set REPORT_ABSENT_SYMLINK=no in /etc/default/resolvconf. Stefan
