If you get your ip address via dhcp, clients such as dhcpcd update your resolv.conf, based on the nameservers supplied by your isp's dhcp server. There is a way to turn this off, by supplying a switch to dhcpcd, see the dhcpcd man page for details. Also, if you have a pppoe connection to the net, I believe that rp-pppoe changes your resolv.conf as well.
