The "right" way is to have your own subnet, complete with its own DNS and DHCP services. resolv.conf is written by the DHCP client, using DNS data that is supplied from the lease. Get onto your router and see if there is a way to tell it which search domain and DNS server IP(s) to hand out when it creats DHCP leases.
