What you say is correct if connecting to net directly.
I have the following file.
[root@lvghomepc lvgandhi]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 61.1.160.65
nameserver 61.1.128.5
nameserver 210.80.58.66
nameserver 212.162.195.2

# ppp temp entry
[root@lvghomepc lvgandhi]#

But I connect to net and browse using wwwoffle proxy. This proxy when starting 
sees these dns. However peerdns writes below the comment line and erased 
during session. What I am worried about is total erasing of this file, most 
probably a;long with logrotate. Hence it is necessary for me to keep the file 
in tact. How to do it?
