Examples of a supplied resolv.conf(5) to resolvconf(8) are shown.
The key part is the domain / search keyword which tells openresolv that 
the supplied nameservers are to be queried for requests against that 
domain.

http://roy.marples.name/projects/openresolv/wiki/OpenResolvConfig
Shows how to configure openresolv for dnsmasq(8)

http://roy.marples.name/projects/openresolv/wiki/OpenResolvConfigDnsmasq
Shows a sample dnsmasq configuration

So the only question I would ask moving forwards is how does 
resolvconf(8) in your setup receive it's information.
DHCP?

Thanks
