How to force a static /etc/resolv.conf?

I'm running FreeBSD 9.1. I run a local recursive resolver, so my /etc/resolv.conf needs to remain static. I have DHCPv4, DHCPv6 and VPN clients running which all want to modify /etc/resolv.conf. I have set in /etc/resolvconf.conf:

search_domains="example.com. example.net."
name_servers="2001:db8::53"

But that only prepends that information. Search domains and nameservers from other sources still get included. I can set /etc/resolv.conf as immutable, but's a hack and it generates errors from resolveconf.

How do I tell resolvconf to always use a static configuration or, better yet, to not muck with /etc/resolv.conf at all?
