The wiki is dead, assuming you meant the old trac instance.
A user editable wiki is nice, but not currently prioritised.

Here is the config page:
https://roy.marples.name/projects/openresolv/config

Here is the dnsmasq specific config:
https://roy.marples.name/projects/openresolv/config#dnsmasq

dnsmasq does NOT have to be compiled for dbus.
If it's not compiled, simply comment out enable-dbus

All the examples I listed above are known to work, as are the ones in 
the resolvconf.conf(5) man page:
http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?resolvconf.conf++NetBSD-current

My examples don't touch on the DHCP aspect because that's out of scope.
Ditto, the cached DNS services - that's out of scope, too.
All my examples provide are what's needed to instruct dnsmasq (and 
others), what upstream servers to contact for which DNS domains.

But I will say this - RedHat generally doesn't support resolvconf out of 
the box, and certainly not very well. If you do have futher issues, 
please state what network configuration tool you're using for the ISP 
facing interface - dhcpcd, dhclient, NetworkManager, systemd-networkd or 
whatever that's called.
