Is this server setting its interface addresses manually, or is it a DHCP client? In the latter case, the DHCP server may be specifying the domain search list, and the client side is happily overwriting your /etc/resolv.conf on every lease renewal.

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 on a particular server. In the /etc/resolv.conf
there are two search lines:
search domA.example.org <http://domA.example.org> domB.example.org
<http://domB.example.org> # [NOTE I made these up, but the form is the same]
search domA.example.org <http://domA.example.org>
I want the search setting to be just:
search domA.example.org <http://domA.example.org>
I've deleted the top/offending line, but every time I restart dnsmasq or
run resolvconf -u (for example), the offending line comes back. Where is
it getting the domB.example.org <http://domB.example.org> from? I've
looked in all the usual places (I think), and tried "grep -R domB *" in
/etc, but nothing turns up! I'm at a loss.
Any pointers on where I should look next?
Thanks,
Kevin
