After much investigation and troubleshooting it turned out to be dhclient that was modifying /etc/resolv.conf. Think about that for a minute. The mere action of an interface (any interface on the system) obtaining a DHCP lease is sufficient to have dhclient think it needs to obliterate my manual networking configuration with settings from the DHCP server. It clearly assumes that it is the only thing involved in configuring networking on the system. This despite the fact that the system in question has another static interface onto my LAN and runs bind for my network (which is why I felt strongly "nameserver 127.0.0.1" is an important option that should be left alone in /etc/resolv.conf). In the end it turns out that "resolvconf not installed =/=> /etc/resolv.conf will remain unmanaged". > (I realise that there are some packages that come with, say, ENABLED=no in > /etc/default, but that's usually there because sensible defaults are > difficult, and the package needs to be configured before use.

However, the whole point of the thread that I started was how to figure out what was changing /etc/resolv.conf when resolvconf wasn't installed in the first place. It may have reasonable defaults but the available methods for making it do what I need it to do for my particular situation are inadequate and involve way too much work. I mean, even a simple line like this at the top would be such a help: # This was automatically generated by dhclient (Oct 25 19:03:45 EDT) # Any changes will be overwritten # To make this stop consult dhclient-script(8) In any event, when I get some time in the next days I will update some pages related to this on the Debian wiki and possibly file a few wishlist bugs.
