Usually the first line of the resolv.conf is
"search machine_name" ... maybe change "domain" to "search" and try to
restart the network.

If you have PEERDNS=yes then in principle you will allow
/etc/resolv.conf to be overwritten.
I would use PEERDNS=no
Also if you want not to have /etc/ntp.conf overwritten you could add PEERNETP=no

If you make these changes and restart the network and the interface
(or re-boot) does it now work?
