It's better to disable networkmanager then.  It seems to be more a tool
for ever changing connections used with dhcp.  In a fixed setup, you
don't need it, and disabling it saves you the process constantly
running.

Other than that, you could change the "NM_CONTROLLED=yes" entry to
"NM_CONTROLLED=no" in the ifcfg-* files for your interfaces.  That
/should/ stop networkmanager from overwriting resolv.conf ... somehow I
have doubts that it actually would without further ado.
