Sure, if dhcp client is the only thing wanting to mess with your 
resolv.conf.  But for example I have one of these that I didn't create, 
and doesn't seem to be to do with dhcp:

/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/resolv.conf

immutable is going to ensure you manage resolv.conf manually no matter 
what (from a growing list, apparently) decides it knows better.  If 
that's not what is desired don't use this selfproclaimed dirty hack.
