the -R option to dhcpcd will stop it from replacing your /etc/resolv.conf 
file. Depending on your OS, you can modify your dhcp options and add the -R 
option to it, so when NetworkManager pulls the IP, it will not update the 
resolv.conf file.

I look in /etc/conf.d or /etc/sysconfig for a file called dhcpcd or something 
similar.
