Are you using dhcp to get an IP address on that server?
Every time dhcpcd gets an IP address it overwrites the resolv.conf. So
I think that's why it's changing every time you reboot. dhcpcd can be
run with the -R option to prevent it from overwriting resolv.conf (check
out the dhcpcd man page). I'm not sure where you'd specify that as i
don't use FC. But it's probably easier to just give that machine a
static IP.
