If you're using DHCP on any of your interfaces, you'll need to configure
dhclient (or whatever dhcp client you're using) to prepend in the
configuration with (e.g. /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf):

prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;

Otherwise, your entry in resolv.conf will be overwritten on each DHCP
lease renewal.
