DNS Question

I have a caching DNS server running on my home machine.  It works if I
put in nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx in my resolv.conf (where
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address I get from my ISP) it does not work if
I put in 127.0.0.1 or the address of an internal NIC (Which is not
connected to a network, but is pingable).  Manually editing the
resolv.conf file everytime I connect is annoying to say the least, and I
could write a script, but it seems the DNS should work w/ 127.0.0.1. 
Any ideas?
