[arch-general] /etc/resolv.conf continuously wiped since yesterday

[David Rosenstrauch]

IIRC, resolv.conf is supposed to get automatically overwritten by your 
DHCP client, as a result of the new DHCP & DNS info it receives when it 
initiates a network connection.

So the question isn't "why is it getting overwritten", but rather "why 
is it getting overwritten with incorrect values that are making my DNS 
lookups fail".

Try performing an nslookup on some site and see which DNS servers your 
system is getting configured to use.  Once you know which servers your 
system is using, you can then try to figure out why the DNS lookups are 
failing.
