So you've gone out of your way to run a daemon but prevent it from
working as configured, instead of just reconfiguring it to do what you
need.

I have Network Manager and it is extremely simple to configure it to
keep fixed DNS Servers as well as have static addresses for ethernet
interfaces.

I find that today, except extremely rare case, all that people that
complain about network management tools interfering are people that
never tried or tried once *years* ago and never checked again.
