There are two ways how to make it work: one is brutal, other one
less so:

a) the brutal way is to make /etc/resolv.conf as you want it
   (hint: install local caching-nameserver and set nameserver to 
   127.0.0.1) and then set

   # chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

   (read chattr(1) to understand fully the implications of this).

b) slightly less brutal way is to fix /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script so 
   that it doesn't break your /etc/resolv.conf (see my script on
   http://www.ceplovi.cz/matej/tmp/vpnc-script for one example
   how to do it).

Best,
