According to 'man nm-settings-ifcfg-rh', PEERDNS=no is the old
network-services services mechanism for not changing /etc/resolv.conf,
while in NM it just means never add automatic nameservers to
resolv.conf from DHCP, PPP, VPN, etc.  Turning off all DNS
updates means adding:

[main]
dns=none

... to the NetworkManager.conf (or preferably in an
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/ file) is probably going to be the most
effective way.  I've seen PEERDNS=no make NetworkManager not overwrite
my resolv.conf but maybe I should be extra careful and drop in a
config file that turns off all dns updating features of
NetworkManager.
